Greg and all: I am very surprised by this.. very very surprised. I make my living as a UNIX Sys. Admin and have never seen a problem like this drag out so long. This is ridiculous. I run a small network at home, hence the domain name, and have worked with majordomo, listserv, and others for years and have never run into a problem quite like ours. I do not believe it has anything to do with majordomo itself. The problem, from what I have seen, is at the ISP level. Anyhoo, just vocalizing my frustration some more. I can understand the situation however. - John On Sat, 31 Jan 1998, Greg Merritt wrote: > > Dear folks, > > I have decided to jump-start the old list while our service > provider attempts to fix the new one.
