>What's the difference between a globally known list and a regular list? >Why not have all lists globally known? Well, I have a list here with all the users in the local staff. I have another list with all the "guest" accounts on SEARN. I don't see any reason why people should be bothered by these lists when they're searching the LISTS database for things related to, say, guest operating systems under VM or guest researchers. I also don't see any reason why they should KNOW about these lists and write junk messages to them :-) Eric
