Well, to do this "right" i.e., conprehensively, you should start to read the files available to you by sending email to: [log in to unmask] * <- that's a "one," not an "elle" index new-list then to: [log in to unmask] index lsvowner Those filelists contain the names of OTHER files (at those LISTSERV sites) that are the "distilled" wisdom of list-owners that have grappled with those issues: how to name a list and how to do list-owner type activities. One such file is LISTSERV TIPS at the UBVM listserv. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "My lists are w/o PEERS ;-)" s/me +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
