Mieux vaut tard que jamais... and reading that file is no one's job but
your own.  Like Ross said, you'd think you'd want to protect your list.

I find it funny that you have given people unbelievable crap when someone
else updated a moderator's echo who is not the elisted moderator.. and yet
when the filegate does something similar (and it has been doing this since
well before 1994) you balk at the idea??? What's wrong with this picture??

Take care,
