The beauty is that you can call yourself whatever you want, i.e., for use in administrative postings or what have you. For a long time I used "List administrator", then decided that sounded too pompous and used "List manager", and finally have devolved back to "List owner" :). In point of fact I doubt that many people will look at your list header and wonder why you're the "Owner=". Lord knows I can't count how many lists I own these days and no one has ever asked <me>. :)) Just my $0.02, Nathan
