Fine.  Hold your breath.  If you've read my last response, then you know
I won't do it.  If you've waited for Cobalt/Sun to do it, you know the
results that brings.

I've tried to explain why.

What are "put" and "get" in relationship to majordomo?  I may be getting
old and senile, but I really don't remember coming across them.

But Cobalt has already admitted to me (and perhaps to you, I don't know)
that majordomo DOESN'T work as the docs say it does; that they installed
it for use by their own gui system, and NOT by you and me.  They told me
that.  So I did what I did, which has been good for some RaQ-owners, and
obviously, not for others.  The fact that I run a successful
list-hosting business proves to me anyway, that it works fine for me.

As I see it, the difference between you and I is that you want to sit on
the shore until the boat serves a full-course meal.  I don't mind taking
it while it's still serving a buffet.

I do what I can to help people.  If you think that best results are
obtained for belittling my efforts, then all I can do is thank you for
that, so I keep remembering I'm only human.

Jeff
