Now I'm *really* confused.  We *use* Tasos' implementation.  So, does
that mean I have the right (and meet your standards of politeness) to
use the name "listserver"???  If so, then I *must* use the address
"listserv" as well.  You see, we have a Unix host on the BITNET, and
some BITNET sites have 8-character restrictions on addresses.  Now
what do you suggest?
