But it is. By law, the method is universally accepted in Western societies. It's called a "letter of resignation." :-/ The constraints that Mailman development should follow are (1) don't make life difficult for admins of systems the list admin doesn't run, and (2) make life easier for the list admin. Making life easier and more pleasant for list members, other things equal, is implied by (2). It is unfortunately often true that the list admin, for whatever reason, does not have the best interests of list members at heart. But this social issue is way beyond the scope of Mailman development. At least Mailman can help make the employment experience a little more pleasant in other ways. :-) -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
