I've never understood why SJU or anyone else would run lists that had NO
connection to the institution in SOME way.  Run by a faculty, staff,
student, emeritus, etc, or that benefitted some department, discipline,
etc, of the university.  Maybe THAT is what someone in the "chain of
command" needs to consider.  Four lists formerly owned at IDBSU lost their
connection when someone left the university, compounded by the fact that
the owner bitched and whined and moaned when we had problems.  He didn't
know about looking in the mouths of gift horses, I guess.  He was invited
to leave post haste.   And, where are those lists now?  SJU.   Hope you're
having fun.   After a few months he asked to come back.  I said no way.
End of story.

cheers
