[Callers] FWD: Using the correct e-mail address

[Aahz Maruch via Callers]

Howdy,

I don't know when it entered the thread (forwarded message below), but
the e-mail address callers-request at lists.sharedweight.net does *NOT* go
to the list, it goes to the moderator.  I find that it's good practice to
check the addresses in posts before I send them -- usually it works best
if you have only ONE address.

Thanks,
Aahz
