Re: Chernobyl at SIMSOC..

[Sven N. Thommesen]

I suspect the culprit in all of this is Professor Lionello Punzo in Siena,
who sent his 'subscribe' message to simsoc to this list (possibly by just
hitting 'reply' to the original posting about simsoc). His message has
'owner-swarm-support' as sender and reply-to. Chris, you might try to
unsubscribe that address from simsoc. Lionello -- naughty, naughty! 

E-mail is fun and useful, but like all else it takes a smidgen of learning
how to make it work right ...

Cheers,
Sven Thommesen

   Swarm-Support is for discussion of the technical details of the day
   to day usage of Swarm.  For list administration needs (esp.
   [un]subscribing), please send a message to <address@hidden>
   with "help" in the body of the message.
