>can you explain the meaning of "posted froma nonsub'd address"?
i sent a post from another account. the acct was not subscribed. this means that the post "bounces". that is, it won't go to the list because the list is closed to subscribers only. when you run the list with majordomo email list software, it is configured (if you want) to send bounces to the "list owner". the list owner, to answer another comment, is doug henwood. doug, as a courtesy ( very generous since many list owners don't bother), sent the mail to the list for me so i didn't have to send it again.
>people can
>post w/o being subscribed?
obviously not. well, technically, they can since doug sends bounced mail from non subbed accounts and he also forwards mail from folks who
1. keep up with the list from the archives <http://nuance.dhs.org/lbo-talk/> 2. no longer sub to the list because we are all a bunch of maniacs, obsessive compulsives, psychotics, hysterics, paranoids, and analysts of everyone else's symptoms </joke>. but, even when not subbed, these former list members think of us fondly and/or with disgust and send things to doug to forward (like announcement or questions) 3. or maybe they are big shots (like zizek <hack, hack>) and wouldn't deign ('k stever??) to subscribe to this list. they are too important and too busy damnitall! 4. who are subbed to the list but not with the account they sent from.
>thanks, norm
