As a few of you have commented, my tirade about the proper procedure
for sending in list requests was more ornery than times past. The
reasons I was in a more foul than usual mood last week are irrelevant,
so I won't try to rationalize myself.
Suffice it to say that I should not have singled out AOL subscribers in a
derogatory fashion. I should probably thank them, as it was some AOL folks
who provided assistance in rewording the Majordomo help text when I was
installing it last month. I'm sure I would not of thought of so many
different ways to interpret, for example, "subscribe autox" on my own.
So, I am sorry I offended folks, and I'll try to be a nicer administrator
in the future. In truth, though, the number of incomprehensible majordomo
requests does seem to have gone down in the last few days! Still, that is
not incentive enough to repeat my rantings.
