The RTTY group is exceptionally well-behaved, Charlie. We have over 1100 
members and in my seven years as moderator, I have had to put only one 
person on moderated status for personal attacks, and he has since 
cleaned up his act and is now un-moderated. There are still a few people 
on moderated status because some kind of virus took over their computer 
and started sending out spam.

Good bunch of guys and gals.  Thank you all for making my job easier!

If anyone needs help with their subscription in any way, feel free to 
email me direct. You might want to add my address to your list in case 
of future needs.
