You may have noticed a hefty influx of spam on this list a few hours ago. This is entirely my fault, sorry about it. Here's what happened: in order to protect this list (and the other one we have, gretl-devel) from spam, messages coming from non-subscribers have to be approved by hand by an admin (usually, me). We adopted this policy because you get bthe odd chance that someone is genuinely trying to ask a gretl question from a non-subscriber address, but 99% of these messages are spam. So I log in from time to time to check and delete the unwanted stuff. It so happened this morning that I clicked on the wrong button, and instead of zapping the junk, I mistakently let it through. Sorry, again! ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
