I would have never signed up for this list, or any other if it didn't give me at least a few hours worth of email bouncing neither myself, or usa.net is up 24/7/365, and i wouldn't expect that everyone has a dedicated email server, for almost any list. plus I have had many problems with the @home's email servers, if I relied on them I would probibly have been kicked off quite some time ago.
well thats my 2cents Richard Reynolds Richard.Reynolds@usa.net
