Please add me to User list

[LCDR Michael E. Dobson]

Periodicly we see these types of messages appearing in the various news groups
that also include gatewayed mailing lists.  This is generaly caused by two
mechanisms.  The first is posting the request to the gatewayed mailing list,
ie info-unix at sem.brl.mil or unix-wizards at sem.brl.mil, instead of the
administrative list, ie info-unix-request at sem.brl.mil.  This is due to ignorance
on the  part of the person trying to get on the list (they may not have news
on their system).  The second and more serious reason is the request mail
address being incorrectly gatewayed into the newsgroup.  If this is happening,
flames should be directed to the list maintainer, not the poor user who has no
control over how his message is treated once it reaches the mail gateway system.
