The mailing list is run by Drew Sullivan off of one of his machines. I
am BCC:ing Drew as I know he doesn't normally read the main TLUG list
(due to lack of time). I think the issue would be time/effort/payback
for Drew. Drew has in place a mailing list manager program that works
fairly well, Majordomo. So the question then becomes, would the extra
features of Mailman be worth the time/effort required by Drew to
install/configure Mailman? I strongly suspect that unless a horrific
flaw is found in Majordomo, the answer will be NO.
