As I've explained many times, the drakelist changed from an open list to
one that required membership to post to cut down the tremendous amount of
spam that was coming into the list.

Unfortunately, the FIDO input to the lists was lost, since the gateway
software sent the Fido posts in such a way that they appeared to come from
non-subscibers.

I really don't need to see the whining about what happened.  Hundreds of
internet based list members thanked me for the changes.

Please don't take any more pot shots Holger...since you've sold most of
your spares, there may not be a need for you to post at all.
