You're absolutely correct. You mention accessing the list through a USENET
reader but imply that that, like using e-mail, can run up your charges and count
against your on-line time.

May I recommend making use of the DIGEST feature? It combines a day's messages
into one file which, even when large, downloads faster than all those messages!
There's a list of subject lines at the beginning of the digest which you can
scan for topics that interest you.

To try it, send the following message to listserve, [log in to unmask]

Good luck,

P.S. Anyone know how to 'unset' this feature?
