Thanks, but I'll stick to being a hard-*ss...no successful mailing list can be run by a democracy, it _has_ to be a dictatorship. (No committee
ever
accomplished _anything_ on purpose, although I've seen a precious few stumble into successes acidentally...)

But seriously: my mother would not understand anything you say. that is because your the expert, and she would be the client who just want to be able to discuss, let's say, the problems of the elderly. You tell her the RTFM, you loose a client. If you do not want her to be your client, that's fine. But some people run a smartlist list and just want my mother to use it. I want my clients to be comfortable using my lists. I don't think they want to here me say "buy a mac" or "use procmail" when they got a problem. I do not understand what you mean with this thing about the committee, the democray and the dictatorship. Sounds pretty akward.
