lynx-dev (patch) remove obsolete sysadmins


From: Philip Webb
Subject: lynx-dev (patch) remove obsolete sysadmins
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 15:15:55 -0500 (EST)

there are still a few obsolete references to `your system adminstrator'
scattered around Lynx docs files (some references are still useful):
this patch updates things: LUG has been changed a lot by me & KW,
so possibly these changes may need checking individually.
