D@#m, D*%m, USWest! Your message set off alarm bells.  USWest truncates
the mn off of my email name.  I had set it in my Netscape properties to
dutchman@uswest.net for something back in 4.05 and had not changed it
back to dutchman@mn.uswest.net.  USWest with Netscape 4.05 had never
complained before but for some reason it does now. I have had this
problem before with subscribed lists like tclug.  I register as
dutchman@mn.uswest.net and all messages thereafter are sent as
dutchman@uswest.net because USWest truncates it.  All my messages get
bounced to the moderator because I am not a "subscribed" member.

All that is Microsoft does not glitter,           
Not all those who wander are lost;                 
The old AT&T Unix that is strong does not wither, 
Deep roots are not reached by frost.              

From the ashes of Spec1170 a fire shall be woken,       
A light from the shadows shall spring;            
Renewed shall be the Unix OS that was broken,     
Linux shall be king.
