There were big signs up on the wall showing how to fill out the enlistment forms, which showed JOHN DOE written in on the name lines, and sure enough nearly 15% of the forms handed in said JOHN DOE for the name :-) Anyway, sorry about that error, thanks Laurent for catching it! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The syntax for a _listproc_ subscription request is subscribe list-name your-first-name your-last-name A number of subscribers (not 15%, but at least half a dozen) wrote subscribe gnatlist your-first-name your-last-name instead of plugging in their real names. > >Anyway, sorry about that error, thanks Laurent for catching it! > By the way - now that chat is up and running at gnat.com, I am trying to close down gnatlist, which was always intended as a temporary list until ACT was ready to operate one. If you are a gnatlist subscriber, please unsubscribe and subscribe to the new list. I will, after a couple more weeks, wave my wand and cause gnatlist to evaporate. This reminds me to change the mailing list info in the ez2load README.:-) Mike Feldman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
