Hmm, ok. That confuses me a bit. There's only one cookie file and it has
the names of both list moderators. I should mention that I'm using the
"all" parameter, in case that makes a difference.

The one I have is quite old, from 1998. The entry for OK looks like this:

OK          2 *OK      all    0 1 U

Is there somewhere I can pick up a newer version of the file?
