I emailed the majordomo and it sent back a message saying, "I am not a Bot." It also added that from now on, it prefers to be addressed as 'Major Domo', with proper respect for its rank. The situation is worse than I thought. Not only are the humans on the list being replaced by Bots, but the Bots seem to be evolving and/or mutating to emulate human characteristics. Also, I recently received a reply from a Bot that had an English accent and said it was having a "Baaaad day". I could smell wet wool, too. I would suggest keeping an eye out for headers that contain the words "Sender: toad.clone".
