Go use Gmane and tell us what exactly you'd be able to do that Gmane does not already do. It's archived, search-able (via keywords) and many, many other very cool features. Furthermore, if you hose a computer, you just jump on another machine with a web browser and search or get help. You first register your listserv account with gmane and then you can post to the list via gmane. very cool, try it, you just might like it! hth (and goodnight) James
