It took a kind system services person to get the old list file back on line.
So, a word of caution to list owners:
If you destroy your "listname LIST" file via PUT, a backup is still
available. BUT: if the destruction involved altering your ownership
entry, then you cannot use GET listname (OLD to retrieve the backup
so you'll have to annoy your systems administrator :-(
This information can be derived directly from the "listownr memo" file.
