You are fully aware that this list is semi-moderated.  Certain
key words are filtered to prevent degradation of this list and
off-topic postings as well as commercial postings, spam, and
subscribe/unsubscribe messages.  You accepted these terms when you 
subscribed to this list.  The charter is clear on this point.
Bounced messages are monitored and if they are paddling related
and do not fall into any of the above categories, they are 
released.  This morning, my machine crashed and I have only in the 
last hour got it up and running again and am just now trying to get 
through all my email with date stamps that are totally screwed up.  
I have not been able to get to any bounced messages yet and you 
would have been so informed had you bothered to direct your 
administrative question to the list adminsitrator.

I have asked you this before, George, and repeat this request... 
when you have an administrative question/issue, please send the
message to me and not to the entire list.  You know who your
listowner is, George.

> 	I'm annoyed. 

Yeah and I hear from those that are annoyed because there isn't
*enough* filtering.  :-p
