   I conclude from this that the listservs work well enough to be actually
   used by non-computer-science researchers.  And that we may have
   something to learn from them.

Exactly ... for *whatever* reason, LISTSERVs seem to be used and,
therefore, must have some perceived value.

Although I'd be hard-pressed to apply that same argument to, for
example, MS-DOS...
