Coincidentally I received an inquiry less than an hour ago from a subscriber
looking for the owner of a list who's sole owner has been bouncing for a
couple of weeks. The following position was filled in *4 minutes*:

The owner ID for the above list is bouncing and attempts to contact
them or a co-owner have failed. If any SJUOWNER is feeling masochistic
enough to be added to the header, please e-mail me. Thanks.
I think the general idea here (and feel free to revise this) is to:
a) Confirm the list is viable or have me delete it.
b) Try to locate a valid owner.
c) Have the lists community produce a new owner by methods appropriate
to their philosophy. That is, Democrats can vote, Machiavellians
can poison opponents, some random subscriber can say "How about Pat"?
d) There isn't a "d" as far as I'm concerned but I know that, in the
past, some of you have been nice enough to assume the role of tech
support for communities unable or unwilling to provide an owner.
