f7343bd74d Avoid the use of contractions. This eliminates the "its"/"it's" problems
pointed out by Rick Robinson.  Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.

Note: the reason for avoiding contractions is two-fold:

1) It makes the text easier to understand for people who speak English
   as a second language.
2) Expanding the contractions often reveals poorly worded passages.

09d44b1ef5 (This really shouldn't all be on one commit, but I forgot
I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml.  Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

Avoid the use of contractions.  This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.
