  We're currently using Mailman because that's what we've been using.

  Switching list software (or anything else about the group) is
something that's always open to discussion.

  To have the most influence over the decision, put your money where
your mouth is.  :)  Sign up to help us migrate the list management
software and to help administer the mailing lists.  :)

  None of that really compares mj2 to Mailman, though.  :)

  While the opinion "I like mj2 a lot, and think it has nice features"
is a valid one, and valuable, it is not the same as "I've compared mj2
to Mailman, and believe mj2 is better because ...".
