Hi Jeff... not wanting to put words in Spencer's mouth - but speaking as someone who runs a list server, there is 
nothing quite like the fun of running a server for the gratification of people you've never met only to be abused by one 
of them. The ATIS lists (like those I host) cost the subscriber nothing. They dredge dollars out of the hosts pocket. I 
run lists because I learn about subjects that interest me and as a public service - Spencer is similar in this respect. 
It is nice to get the occasional thanks message - but just one abusive message can kill off twenty good ones. If you 
have some drama with the way Spencer runs the lists, then why not contact him directly and talk to him about it instead 
of blasting the poor guy publicly. Great way to make friends mate!

Regards
Paul
