James,

I've got to speak up here after going around circles about this to no end for a
couple of days.

1.) No, people should not be joining NFLUG by using majordomo. They should
be using a fairly detailed membership form.

2) If you know how to configure a membership form to work with majordomo
to satisfy the maintenance of two list, membership and mailing, get with Darin
and implement it! I would love it. It's a pain in the ass to me to have to do it
the way we are doing it.

3) If you don't know how to do it or Darin doesn't want to do it, shut up about
it. What we have now works. I am tired of going in circles on this. Shit or get
off the pot.
