ManddrakeExpert is no substitute for the lists. I'm sure it has its place, but I personally have not found it helpful at all, even for a paid incident.
That aside, however, I do want to say that I have pushed hard that one big reason for buying/using Mandrake is the value of these lists. Without them, or with them greatly emasculated, both newbies and transferee's would have a great deal more difficulty. If this is a prelude to trouble for the list, it is a big mistake.
