Provided there is a way to provoke such a reminder, clearly findable monthly message. Not because it involves sending the password in the clear; I never use that password for anything anyway (not even its purported purpose; I can't remember ever using the password from one of those monthly reminder emails for *anything*, and I get them from something like half a dozen lists). I always let list managers that want to assign me passwords choose them themselves, so they generally aren't the same as any of my other passwords, no. :-) Not questions from me, so I'm probably not a very useful data point. Whom you really need to hear from, it seems to me, is the people who *do* use those monthly reminders for something. I find them totally unnecessary clutter, but at one per month per list (and not all the lists I'm on, either), it's a thorougly tolerable level of totally unnecessary clutter. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
