Yep...I thought so.

It can't be contrary....it's my viewpoint.  And I have no agreement with 
someone who will not learn a simple procedure.

If he has internet access, he can do it via email, or Gowd forbid via the web 
page.

Tell you what Roy...I run the echolist, and there's a requirement that the 
moderator confirm with me(read that he/she sends me a message) that he/she 
wants to/is using a third party to do updates.

So...with no confirmation from the moderator, the third party update gets put 
on hold.
