sqft: Re: list commands (sorry, more admin stuff)

Well, I was just informed yesterday by our list admin person
that we are now changing from the "listserv" to the "majordomo"
list management software. There are advantages and disadvantages
of each. One of the disadvantages of majordomo is that everyone
gets a copy of their own (the "repro" option in listserv) - it's
not a choice any more.

John is correct that to get the instructions for dealing with
the new server, send a message to:
    majordomo@lists.umsl.edu     (sending to listserv@lists.umsl.edu will
also work)
with the single body line:
    help

Sorry again for the inconvenience. All this change is out of
my control - it's university-wide. 
If anyone is in a position to offer a new server home 
to the list, please email me.
