Hi Allan, Can I unsubscribe from the admin. list without "screwing" my role as co-coordinator? The amount of irrelevant traffic is becoming tiresome, with all this petty squabbling. This is NOT the purpose of admin. lists. As I understand it, the purpose of these lists is to disseminate meaningful information to transcribers. This is not so. One-to-one messaging gets round all the problems.
