Finally he got so fed up with still receiving the list (he never checked the footer of each email which gave unsubscribe instructions) that he threatened to forward all the list messages he received back to the list. About two weeks later the list was unusable as each email sent was received by him and resent back to the list, which caused him to receive another email which was promptly reforwarded back to the list... And so the loop kept continuing. Tom
