This is the very best attitude they could hope for. It makes it dead 
easy for them to justify dumping Mailman. They bought HL on their own 
authority and dumped it on us without consideration or recourse, because 
they wanted it. That won't change until they decide it was a mistake 
from their own perspective and by their own criteria.

So they keep telling us over and over and over. It seems to be working 
because now you're telling us the same thing over and over and over, 
supporting their position in their minds.

This is, yet again, why I originally suggested and continue to suggest 
that HL be made to, in ADDITION to any other "features" it has that may 
actually work, at LEAST replicate all the functions of the Mailman list. 
We would lose nothing in functionality, and Mailman could go. What I 
don't understand is this psychotic administrative group reaction to 
suggesting that HL should be made to at least meet the functionality of 
Mailman. The severe negative reaction to the suggestion is far out of 
proportion to the suggestion itself, which I considered the only 
sensible approach from the beginning.
