If I had a choice between doing web development or LISTSERV admin full time, LISTSERV would win out any day. I think it's more to do with the fact that LISTSERV allows for personal, human interaction (both good and bad) in a rather impersonal environment. That's my 2-bob's worth anyhow... Chazzozz!!
