Say I have two lists, LISTA and LISTB.

LISTA has the following Owner= lines:

* Owner= user1@fqdn
* Owner= user2@fqdn
* Owner= Quiet:,user3@fqdn

So user1 and user2 are non-quiet and user3 is quiet (no question yet).

Now say LISTB has the following Owner= lines:

* Owner= Owner(LISTA)
* Owner= user4@fqdn

Here are the questions:
1. Can I even do this, i.e., have multiple Owner= lines where one of
them is Owner(SOME-OTHER-LIST)?
2. If so, would user4 in the above example be Quiet ("inheriting" the
Quiet attribute from LISTA, since the Owner(LISTA) line preceded the
user4@fqdn line for LISTB?
3. If LISTB has Errors-To= Owner (not OwnerS), meaning the first-listed
Owner, will this translate to user1 AND user2 (since they are both
implicitly part of the "first-listed" Owner= line for LISTB), or just to
user1?

Another way of asking questions 2-3 is: What is Listserv's model for
expanding Owner=Owner(OTHER-LIST) for the LISTB case?  Will it expand
the Owner= Owner(LISTA) line as if all three Owner= lines from LISTA
were explicitly part of the header file for LISTB?  Or will it consider
all [non-quiet] owners of LISTA as the first-listed *single*
"super-owner" of LISTB?  Or some hybrid??

Thanks!
