        Personaly, I wouldn't do that with any of my lists.  If you want a
person to be able to POST, you don't want them as an ``owner'', because
that is a matter of giving them full power over the list, which is
unnescesary.  You could make them an editor, which should have the same
effect (at least if the list is edited), but grant them no list owner
rights.  You can also subscribe them, and set them to nomail.  Which will
allow them to post (provided ``mere'' subscribers can post), without
recieving list mail.
        I personaly, think that edited lists are for the most part, the
way to go, as that provides the oportunity for accepting non-member posts,
even accepting them DIRECTLY, by adding specific addresses to the editor
list.  But, that's what I'd do.  No, what you've done isn't wrong, but
it's certianly not the way *I* would go about it...
