Here is the sort of peculiarity I am finding: go to ip-1423 at:

   Linkname: IPdb Status Update
        URL: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/cgi-ipbin/status-update?IP=ip-1423

(This is a dead IP application for a group that I will shortly delete,
however, I've kept it around so we can play with it).

Try deleteing the entries for jumpkey:, Group List: or Private Mail List:
(so that there is no information in these fields) and then select Update
Status. Presto: the information re-appears!

I guess this is not life or death, however it would be nice to be able to
(for instance) eliminate a jumpkey entry if we didn't want to have
anything there at all.

I can't figure out why it's possible to change entries in these fields but
not to delete them altogether. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Chris
