I had never read it that way. I've made massive changes to my stuff to try to avoid such misunderstandings in the future. As of today, my public_login.com will display the following messages during login: ****************************************************************************** * PLEASE! If you are running ADYONKA's PUBLIC_LOGIN.COM and are trying to * * register your use of ADYONKA's PUBLIC_LOGIN.COM, send mail to ADYONKA, not * * to MCUG_MGR.

I've always liked them. However, I always felt that there should be additional "commands" (actually, just command abbreviations) that users could use instead. This probably stems from when I was a newuser and used Crash's login.com. Gosh, I feel old. Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention. -- Aaron D.
