Been there, done that.  What I wanted, and obviously did poorly, was to ask
LISTOWNERS to contact me.  I wanted to have interaction with other historically
oriented listowners so I could develop a "feel" for whom to contact regarding
questions outside the scope of my list.  History contains very few "discreet
events" and I want to point my members to the right list when a discussion goes
beyond the scope of the list.  I will NOT do this, however, unless I have the
consent of the listowner of the appropriate list.  This is a courtesy I expect
and thus one I must observe.
    I know the lists of lists is available, but I fairly sure it's not complete
and I'm also certain that there are historically oriented lists which wish
no contact with WWII-L, and so I'm offering listowners the chance to contact me,
and not intruding into their realm uninvited.
