Dear colleagues and "list-owners":

I am still a-tryin' to block the "PS" or "trailing confirmation" which I receive every 
confounded time I request the full text of the daily digest from SEELANGS.   The 
latest example of that unwanted little confirmation follows:
__ __ __ _ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _ __ __ __ _

Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 00:06:54 
From: "CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK/CIS LISTSERV Server (14.4)" 
<LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> 
Subject: Re: GETPOST SEELANGS 
To: Steven Hill <S-HILL4 at UIUC.EDU> 

Results have been mailed to you under separate cover. 
__ __ __ _ __ __ __ __ __ _ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 

End quote.  Thus  I continue to receive (and probably many of you other SEELANGS 
subscribers do, too?) each day a useless notification telling me that I have just 
received that which I have just received.  Brilliant.   Who says the "theater of the 
absurd" or Franz Kafka were to be found mainly in the Czech Republic (or Poland)?

I 'll put much of the blame on myself.  I have failed twice in my unskilled little 
efforts  to avoid receiving those useless, space- & time-consuming little "PS" 
messages.  First (appx a month ago), I posted a "how-to" query on SEELANGS.  I 
did receive one suggestion, but it wasn't specific enough to enable  me to kill the 
daily "PS."  Later (maybe 2 - 3 weeks ago) I read up on how to send a "request" 
direct to the "owners," and then I tried that sort of targeted (non-posted) message, 
asking the "owners" how to kill the "PS."  No reply....

Is there any hope?

Gratefully,
Josef K. Hill
