Were you in a hurry or trying to insult me?  (No offence taken, even
if you meant it.)

I'm a list owner, not a site manager.  There is a sort of consensus
on my list that we want to split into two lists with two different
focuses (one to play games, one to discuss games, both related to
TV game shows, in case you care), and we want to pick a name for the
new list.  While I get the last word, I don't care to dominate the process.
My plan is to "clone" an exact copy of the existing list, with a new
name, and let people change their options from there.

As list owner, I wanted to avoid having people discuss any potential
new list names that would be illegal anyway.  Does this make sense now?

Now, this seems to me like a pure list-owner issue.  Are you saying
all list owners should get the site manager's manual?  Not that I mind,
but could you at least provide a URL or (preferably) a filename-request-
command that I could use to get an ASCII version?  My site is 1.8c,
so if there are multiple versions, that's the one I should retrieve
I think.

But frankly, my guess is that this will not be a terribly useful manual
to us listowners in general, and that some tidbits (such as those I
requested) maybe should just be moved (or copied) to the manual for
list owners.

Thanks,
Stan
