Re: Going away?

There is less messaging involved in setting LISTSERV software to NOMAIL
and then back to MAIL.  1 message to turn it off, 1 message to turn it
back on.

If you unsubscribe and then resubscribe, most lists have a 2 or 3 step
confirmation process when you resubscribe.  I am a member of several
lists, and going through resubscription and confirmation for every one of
them each time I take a break is more effort than I choose to exert.

Best wishes,

Larry
