OK... I'll bite.  The assistant director for academic computing services here
tells me he has been following and relishing the recent influx of SERIALST
mail on this very topic...  that unfortunately, thorough testing means lots
of junk mail.  So the problem is being looked at.  Incidentally, SERIALST
is not the only list with its title first.  Other library discussion groups
out of UVMVM are set up this way... and judging from the amount of e-mail
traffic around here, I suspect that there are not significant numbers
of list subscribers who have this problem.  Anyway,  the AD has promised
to post a coherent response to the list after he has had more time to
investigate.  I hope I didn't just botch his research methodologies by
posting this!  And by the way, I am replying directly to this message
directly....    --  Birdie
