Someone else sent that info (as well as another very detailed explanation)
so I expect we will be able to address this shortly.

I'm still not sure I agree, but I don't see how this will be an issue for
this list once the [email address] one is turned off. I think this will turn

With this stone for a throne, I look down on my pond
But I cannot look down on the places beyond.
This throne that I sit on is too, too low down.
It ought to be HIGHER!" he said with a frown.
"If I could sit high, how much greater I'd be!
What a king! I'd be ruler of all I could see!"
- Dr. Seuss
