IF you have a bunch of people acting as owners, you can do this nifty
trick:
 
1) setup another list for the listowners
2) set the 1st list to have:
   * owner= main person
   * owner= Quiet:
   * owner= (name-of-second-list)
 
 
Your web page can add/del  owners by Add/Del the person as a subscription
to the 2nd list!
