[RTTY] Moving list

[RTTY]

I think everyone needs to accept that all software is fallibleand at 
first blush this looks like it is a bug in one of the two previous 
updates to Mailman.  Mailman is a very large and complex piece of 
software that by its very nature is difficult to debug.

Add to that the fact that contesting.com as an organization has its own 
policies and procedures in effect regarding the installation of any 
software as primary to its purpose as Mailman (i.e., red tape).

Because the problem is intermittent (the worst kind) we can assume it 
will take the maintainers of Mailman at least a day or two to produce a 
fix.  Even if the powers that be at contesting.com decide to simply 
revert Mailman to an earlier version, that decision-making process more 
than likely won't even be able to begin much before Monday.

Mailman has served us well for many many years, so give the appropriate 
people the time they need to bring it back to health.  Let's go work 
some DX!
