We don't have many owners that change their lists anyway but when someone
tries to use the wizzard we just tell them to change the comma to a hyphen
and that works.  We (LISTSERV help staff) are changing them as we find them
(I don't ever use the wizzard anyway, a list owner found the comma problem
for us:-) and it's not been much of an issue here.

That is invalid, and when saving, throws an error. We have hundreds (probably over a thousand) in this format and have been that way "forever." School is about to open and lots of people are going to encounter this error- a problem for them and a public relations disaster for Listserv. Yeah, we should have picked this up earlier, but we were in a bit of a hurry to get upgraded, being so far behind.
