We have all now experienced a serious NET weakness... one guy screws up either his own address or closes his account and we get thousands of messages bounced, rebounced and re-rebounced. It does not take much math to see the ultimate end to this scenario. Perhaps Brian in particular and others in general would like to take this matter as a warning and come up with solutions to provide a way to terminite such bounces once they begin. There is no reason whatsoever that our own mailboxes as well as the NET in general should be plagued with kind of ridiculous duplication. Fred Ward
