To be pedantic, "listserv" refers itself to a specific software package.
:)  But perhaps it's been Kleenexed or Xeroxed.  :)

I have the LSoft 20th anniversary shirt that says 'There is only one LISTSERV'.
Eric Thomas told me they paid for the shirts out of their "trademark protection"
budget, not their "advertising" budget - the term hasn't gone generic yet.

The scary part is I've been working with it long enough to know *why* it
was called the 'Revised' Listserv 2 decades plus ago. ;)

Yes, we run the LSoft software.  8,441 lists defined at the moment.
