Greetings,

Sort of sorry for rehashing the same old problem, but I would like to 
suggest that the list maintainers set up the list to allow 1 day of bouncing
if possible before dropping a subscriber.  

My reasoning is based on the fact that some mail transfer protocols (UUCP in
my case) will send a warning if a message hasn't been delivered in a certain
time period.  It looks like a bounce, but is just informative.

The aggravating problem is that I had recently posted a couple of questions
that may have been answered by people in the time period that I had been dropped
from the list.

Thanks for your tolerance and consideration.

Chip
