BloomOne way to deal with the backlog problem would be to return each message to the original sender, who could then decide whether to trash it, or resend it to the whole list. This should keep everyone happy. People would be spared messages that are no longer of use, and those who still wanted their messages to be read can be spared retyping (possibly tedious to compose) old messages. It shouldnt be too difficult to do, but problems might arise with out of date return addresses. Anyone else think this is a good idea? - mike
