The problem is that LIST GLOBAL /searchcriteria searches the entire file
called LISTSERV LISTS for <any> occurance of the search criteria--listnames
<and> descriptions.  So it just isn't going to do what you want it to do.
 
My suggestion is simply to LIST GLOBAL and GREP the list for what you
want--RUNNing, SWIMMing, BOATing, etc.
