The point in having two people receiving errors is that if one is
suddenly taken ill or out of town, the other can take care of things
-- especially if they copy one another on mail they send to listserv.
Or they can switch off on alternate days, etc. without changing the
list header.  I consider changing the list header a "dangerous
operation" that I do only when I have to.  It's too easy to make a
mistake and delete the header, or create a problem that isn't easily
fixed without calling on the help of an overworked listserv manager.
