Am having a weird experience adjusting to a 
new list culture.

As I'm unaware of any proper terms, I've used
"centralist" to describe lists where subscribers
are usually encouraged to mail the one address (a 
la majordom@ listproc@ listserv@) and "federal"
to describe lists where subscribers use an
EZMLM-type set-up : subscribe-listname...@
unsubscribe-listname@ etc.

There are exceptions to this of course, as most
of the "centralist" lists can use ...-request-type
addresses; and vice-versa EZMLM can be set up
to emulate a majordomo@ (to a certain extent).

I was really unprepared for all this!  And I'm
basically wondering how other people have coped
with radical changes to -their- list cultures?

Cheers
