Change in your subscription options for the FUNKNET list

[Funknet Administration]

I have received a number of queries as to the "change of setting" notice
which everyone just received.

Short answer: the default for our local listserv is to set new user's at
NOREPRO, meaning they do not receive copies of their own postings.  I have
received numerous complaints from users who successfully posted a message,
then did not receive a copy of their own posting.  Assuming that their
posting was unsuccessful, they have either (1) repeated their posting or
(2) written to ask me why I am preventing them from posting (sometimes
both). I discovered (riffling through the listowner's reference card) that
I could change a setting for other members of the list.  I somewhat
clumsily inserted a wild card symbol into the syntactic location of the
"for whom" part of the command, resulting in a global change, such that
everyone now has the setting "REPRO", meaning everyone will now receive a
copy of their own postings.

If you *don't* want this, it is now necessary for you to send the command

SET FUNKNET NOREPRO

to the address

listserv at rice.edu

So you can take back control of your own account settings...
