Here's an explanation of the "quota exceeded" thing that some people are complaining about, for those of you who just don't get it or are otherwise confused: The thing here is that he has subscribed to IDM-l, and then left his email for days without reading it. Therefore, his quota has filled up with our usual blathering. The side effect of this all is that every time you write a message to the list, the message gets mailed to everyone, including him. Since his mailbox is full, his copy of your post isn't received, and you get a message about it from his email system. This only appears to people when you post to the list, which is why you don't know what we're complaining about if you don't post to the list. Also, for those of you just discovering it, don't worry - your messages are indeed getting through to the list. Just not this one guy. --- Colin Buttimer <c.buttimer@mdx.ac.uk> wrote:
