Re: [ga] Majordomo 'who' command

Harald and all,

  Your point is well taken by me anyway Harald.  But I fear not by others
on this list as it's history clearly shows.  What's what should be more
important
than who's who here.  I think that at this juncture though it is too late for
that.
So restoring the Majordomo 'Who' Command seems essential and at least
prudent.  Besides, as I originally responded before to this thread, it is easy
to circumvent. So why not just restore the 'Who' command?
