Despite it's moronic humor, this message actually points to something I'm 
interested in.

We currently run a listproc at our site (I'm in charge of it).  Just a 
few weeks ago, I noticed that net-happenings moved to majordomo, which 
made me decide to at least evaluate it as well.

My question is this: are there any people here who's had experience with 
both packages and can offer an un-biased recount of their experiences?

I don't want to start any type of "religious" war here so I'll clarify my
position right at the start: I don't really like listproc (especially now
that it's been sold) but I'm a little hesitant to jump into a new system
and the fact that Majordomo is written in perl worries me: I don't write
perl and I've heard it's rather a resource hog. 

These are the sorts of issues I'm interested in.  Any one else?

Thanks,
 - Mike
