Please don't take offense: is your answer literal or sarcastic? I think you 
mean it as you say it, but I'm not a sysop or programmer, just a listowner, 
so I really can't tell.

#   We do have the Mailman FAQ Wizard (see

[Mailman-Users] finding the options and so on

2005-09-07 Thread Mark A. Mandel
I've noticed that a fair number of the questions and answers on this list 
follow the pattern

Q: How do I do X?
A: Look in 
Q: Aha! Thanks, I didn't know it was there.

And as an owner of a number of lists, though not a sysadmin, I've fairly 
often had the experience of "Now, where the heck was that feature the last 
time I used it? ... Not there... it's not there either... OK, let's go 
through the option pages one by one. ... ... ... Oh, THERE you are, you 
little devil!"

One way to solve this problem would be an index. Another would be a wiki.

What do other listmembers think?

[Mailman-Users] deleting a message

2005-08-08 Thread Mark A. Mandel
How can I delete a message from the archives of a list that I am the owner 
of? I'm not a sysadmin for the system.

[Mailman-Users] Where's LO?

2004-01-13 Thread Mark A. Mandel
On your web page
   http://www.list.org/lists.html

the link labeled

   {{Listowners}} is a mailing list with a non-technical focus,
specifically for discussions from the perspective of listowners and
moderators who do not have "shell access" to the mailing list server
where the Mailman software runs.

leading to the URI
   http://listowner.org/

produces the message
   The page cannot be displayed

Recent attempts to post to the listowner list have bounced (see
forwarded message).
