I agree.  It'll be yanked by Monday.  
This was a thought that never matured to reality....

Now, Wait a minute.  The VERY first paragraph says this:


"Majordomo, the mailing list (a collection of scripts written in the Perl
programming language), was originally authored by Brent Chapman of
GreatCircle Associates, and released to the public in 1992; That was
release 1.32." 
---SNIP--


A couple of levels too low?  It's the first paragraph.

copyright string, and on the How Majordomo Got Started page.

Upon request of Brent, sure.  No problemo. :)
