Dunno if that's true - the old list is supposed to be closed and merely
forward its messages to the new list. So, in theory, that shouldn't cause
duplicates. I have so far seen a few messages (2-3?) duplicated, causes
unknown. I'll investigate if the problem persists.

Re: the DFW list, I heard from Matt, the admin of waste now on his way
to the zone, that the list was all set to go, pending some matters to
be worked out with/between the volunteer owners. In fact a 'lists'
command to waste shows the following as one of the lists running on the
system:

  wallace-l            David Foster Wallace and his works.

And 'info wallace-l' shows:

    Welcome to wallace-l - David Foster Wallace and his works
    The help file for this list is not in place yet.
    Write to dfan at lglass.com or mbrehm at flagcococopl.lib.az.us for more
    information.
       
Perhaps the said volunteers can tell us what's going on?
