[Mailman-Users] weird problems; a cry for help

[George Dinwiddie]

I feel like I'm talking to myself. :-)  I guess that since no one has
responded, this must be too wacked out to diagnose.  Should I delete
the list and re-create it?  If I do that, is there any way to salvage
either the member list or the archived messages?

Anxious for a reponse,
  George
