At the risk of being flamed off this _Usenet newsgroup_ may I add my voice to that of the English teacher, Natalie Maynor, in her gazelle vs. sloth comparison of Revised Listserv vs. ListProcessor 6.0 While incompetent to commentment on the the technical differences between the two programs because I am not a programmer of any sort, I am highly qualified to discuss the functionality of the two programs from the point of view of an end user. For nearly two years at the cost of domestic tranquility and risking divorce, I have spent from sixty to eighty hours per week networking on listserv (with a lower case "l" it is a generic wrod as far as I'm concerned) lists. Most of that time I have spent using Revised Listserv 1.7. For the last eight or nine months I have spent this time reading and posting to a high volume list that switched from Listserv to ListProcessor. And since August I have been a listowner of two lists running on a hobbiests home machine under Majordomo by Brent Chapman. From an end users point of view, Revised Listserv is king. I rue the day my favorite list converted to ListProcessor. I hate it. It might be faster, but the archives suck. I like Majordomo better. And for the fellow that corrected my spelling, it is spelled M-a-j-o-r-d-o-m-o from the word of the same name in the dictionary. I LOVE Revised Listserv! The archives and the database searching functions using ldbase.com under VAX/VMS are _awesome_. I would die for a chance to run my two lists under Revised Listserv. Unfortunately, I am not a computer person. I have no university affiliation except as a part-time student taking a one-hour computer science class in order to obtain my Net access. I am a writer, a political activist and an ecclesiastic; and I would rather be a listowner on the Internet than be a bigshot editor-publisher of a major periodical. Listserv will change the face of human civilization. But please let it be on Revised Listserv or something functionally similar to the end user, both the reader and the listowner. One the greatest frustrations of my adult life has been the fact that Revised Listserv does not run on Unix or VAX/VMS systems. -- ----------- All my opinions are tentative pending further data. ----------- -------------- John W.
