Well, it sort of can be done.  I have a LISTDEL Xedit that makes a valent
attempt to delete someone.  Its a little out of date, but if anyone
who doesn't already have a copy wants one, drop me a line.  (To those
of you who already have one, "no, I haven't updated it recently".  My copy
is dated 07/02/90.)  I also have a LISTADD which works on listserv
'Add this person' mail.  Please send requests directly to me, and
I'll batch up the requests.
