You are correct we are a bit OT here.  However, as a list admin myself,
what you probally are not aware of is a "design fluke" in the AOL email
software <interface> that due to AOL users not paying attention to what
they are doing is reporting emails from all QTH lists as spam.  This is
important to AOL users because AOL is doing what appears to be "sabre
rattling" with Al & Tim at QTH about totally blocking QTH from sending any
email to any AOL user.

Personally, I could care less but I'd hate to see all AOL users cut off
from QTH reflectors because of AOL policies, procedures and practices
based upon a few idiots not being able to follow instructions.  This is
not a single list issue, it applies to every list hosted by Al or any
other eamil reflector such as those on contesting.com.  I will let Ray
comment further to any specifics of this list if he so feels led to do so.
 I've already warned my list.
