Yes, of course, as I am interacting with Mailman after all, but
my setup has one BIG advantage: speed. Using my setup I can search
through all the lists in 1 second (the same subscriber may be on multiple
lists and want to get off them all). Using the Mailman pages I first
have to wait, then enter the list name, then wait, then enter my
password, then wait, then enter the search, then wait, etc. Just to
look at 1 of my 40+ lists. Then repeat all that 40 times...
