- I think the problem at hand is that info-iris-request is administered by a
- real human being, not by a mail server as is, say info-hams@ucsd.edu. The
- turn time on requests to be added, deleted, or simply changed at brl.mil has
- been as long as a few weeks in my case.
-
- This is not an idictment of the info-iris admin folks. But it would be nice
- if routine admin requests were handled like the mail lists on VM machines
- (UCSD.EDU, TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU, etc) - by the machine itself.
