Understand your points.  But I fail to see why there should be a "fix" or
"change" to the software because of occasional mistakes a listowner makes.
ALL of us make quite a few mistakes in our lives, and we adapt to them.
And decent software either does no harm when you goof (like LISTSERV), or
at least checks with you "do you really want to reformat your hard disk??"
before allowing you to goofup.
