All of you will be tired of the magazine posts that have been
sent recently.
I have complained several times to postmaster@aol.com, where the
stuff is probably being relayed, but have gotten no response.
Because of this, I have now hacked our Majordomo to regard ALL
postings that come via aol.com as "administrative requests", which
will have to have manual approval before being sent to the list.
I am sorry for the inconveniece this will cause our AOL readers
(if we have any; there are none on the E-mail side of the gateway).
