Eric, I have a question. Your reason for outright refusing to implement
this standard (if we assume the RFC dictates that the MLM sw reside at the
-request address) is that it would rob a Listserv list of its "human
contact" address, is that not correct?

But if I remember right, Listserv also uses listname-owner as a human
contact address (which is very sensible because -owner implies a human
whereas -request does not unless you are an ARPANET fossil).

Let's just grant that whoever wrote that RFC were a bunch of knuckleheads.
Regardless, do you require two addresses that point to humans? At least, is
it not simple to make it configurable, such that -request can point either
to a human or the MLM at the administrator's discretion?

Just curious.
