   Saw your mail, talked to the system manager, and this is the way we
will go. I don't know why I didn't think of it before instead of focusing
on a Listserv solution.  It will also solve the problem of the student
contributing to class discussions and having their real name being viewed.
The instructors can still own their lists, as they do now, and we will
still probably set these students to CONCEAL.

 Yes, they get a paper roster from the registrar's office, but it is
the output from a REVIEW that is more likely to be printed, distributed
or posted, in spite of warnings not to do so.

Thanks, everyone so much for all your input!
