[Rfu-station] Re: [RFU] Problem with list setup

[Mike Lehman]

Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure what happened to the lists, but things have seemed strange 
for the last few days, as if the list configs had been changed. I think 
Dan fixed one problem with unsubscribing rfu-automation from 
RFU-station. I just made one slight change to something that I think 
needed tweaked on RFU-station, but I am largely clueless about whatever 
is causing the other headaches, multiple messages and extended 
discussion on RFU-station. Perhaps Dan can check into this when he gets 
a chance if he thinks it is a config issue?

Noel,
I just checked and you're still subscribed to RFU-station. Sorry 'bout 
whatever was happening. I'm confused, too.

Everyone,
Sorry about the multiple messages. Something seems a bit wrong with how 
RFU-station is configured, but we really didn't aim to have all the 
discussion on it. Please remember that RFU-station should be not be used 
for discussion, which should be done over at the old 
rfu at lists.chambana.net list, which some of you may see this copied onto 
also.

While I would like to get to the bottom of who keeps rewiring stuff in 
the studio and leaving it messed up, replies and discussion like this 
should be done on rfu at lists.chambana.net or rfu-tech at lists.chambana.net, 
although announcements about any station bussiness that needs to reach 
everyone can be done on the rfu-station lists so that we all are aware 
of an issue. Replies and discussion should then be directed to the 
appropriate lists in most cases. This will help keep things organized 
and keep RFU-station low traffic.
