WOODWORK-L Update

[Doug Miller]

After getting *another* "You are not authorized" message, I forwarded it to [e-mail] with the following comments:

I didn't attempt to post to WOODWORK-L. You still have a problem with your listserv configuration: everyone who posts THRU A NEWSSERVER gets one of these stupid messages. Your continuing problems with this listserv are becoming a MAJOR nuisance on the rec.woodworking newsgroup. Please fix it or shut it down.

and just received this in reply:

The woodworking-l list has been removed from our listserver. James Dudley [e-mail] UITS Messaging Team 317-274-4783

Great!!!

Now we can get back to "normal" amount of B$ posted on the wreck which is entertaining/irritating enough.

The problem was with the list bouncing the posts that were sent directly to the wreck; a software glitch.

I have a warm spot in my heart for the list itself. It provided my start on the wreck several years ago before I was able to get usenet directly. And that start allowed me to score an Omnijig at a killer price from a wreck user.

Best available evidence suggests that the list was 'effectively' dead, anyway. A) the only messages forwarded to rec.woodworking from the list in the last 1+ years were "spam". B) nothing posted directly to rec.woodworking was making it to the list.

The conclusion seems insecapable that there was -no- legitimate message traffic going to the list -- and that the shutdown was entirely justified on that basis alone.
