   Many people seem to make that mistake, resulting in some threads (not this
particular one, certainly, but others could be used as examples) which are
not relevant to those of us who prefer not using majordomo. The complete
description of this list is on the greatcircle.com website, from which I
quote:

"The List-Managers mailing list is for discussions of issues related to
managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not limited to) methods,
mechanisms, techniques, policies, and software (in general; questions about
specific software packages should be directed to the mailing list dedicated
to that particular package).

Technical questions regarding particular software packages (for instance,
Majordomo, LISTPROC, ListServ, etc.) are not appropriate for the
List-Managers mailing list."

   Seems pretty straightforward, so I'm not sure how anyone could be
confused. But it still frequently happens.
