I understand that and that is exactly the usage I object to. I
understand I'm tilting at windmills and that I've long since lost this
battle, and I'm in no way trying to protect Eric Thomas' trademark, but
it annoys me to see Mailman conflated with Listserv because Listserv is
a proprietary competing product and I think Mailman and its community
are a better alternative.
