I'm glad our list owner says such macros (NW macros, not MSWord macros) belong to the list. And since I can't imagine you saying that because a macro might not be of interest to *all* NW users they are off topic, I won't ask if that's what you meant... Of course not all NW stuff is interesting to all NW users.

I'm coming on. In the interest of the things that are most important to us, I hope that people really finally limit the off topics. And I will repeat that a really good measure to take to limit such things could be to limit number of messsages (and perhaps even bytes) per week or day that the listmembers can post. I belive such settings are possible in the listserver.
