[EB] List trouble

[Meinhard Moschner]

Dear Eurobarometer List members,

thanks to a colleague at the Marburg University computer 
department the snow-ball-mail trouble was stopped as soon as 
possible (still night in Michigan!). As I later understood from 
ICPSR preventive measures against this kind of List trouble 
are installed - and never before a similar effect was observed 
with any of their lists! I am shure they will look for the reason 
... 

I very much regret all the irritation and would like to wish
you (already today) Merry Christmas and a Happy New 
Year, yours
