<chuckle> Well, yeah .. I sorta tied the knot last Saturday.
In further news on that same thread, I'm going to be a father
in February, and the doctors tell me it's a boy. You know,
just the usual stuff going on. :-)

Actually, here's the sequence:

ListServ (HEARN)
ListProc (iTRiBE)
Majordomo (iTRiBE)
ListServ-Lite (iTRiBE)

We had to make the first switch because the gods at Hearn were
no longer willing to support the Shadowrun lists. At that time,
I got Listproc up and running and agreed to take over the lists.
A couple of months later, I decided that ListProc was _way_ too
flaky. Every time I would leave for the weekend something would
go wrong. Switched to Majordomo. Majordomo is a really nice
chunk of software, but it is very badly outdated and is quite
a long way from being efficient. Lsoft just released ListServ-Lite
which is free for noncommercial use, so I decided to give it
a whirl. It seems to be much more efficient than Majordomo,
and is definitely more powerful. For the most part, these
changes don't affect the individual subscribers .. the only
thing that changes is the interaction with the listserver itself.

If anyone has any questions about the listserver before I get the
FAQ updated, feel free to let me know..

As many of you probably noticed I switched all of the lists running on
listproc.itribe.net over to use the new LISTSERV-LITE software from
Lsoft. The LISTSERV software is _much_ more powerful than the Majordomo
that was previously running. (mail listserv@********.itribe.net with
help in the subject for list of features..)

If you have any questions or comments about this change, please let me
know.

Thanks,
