BTW,

OWNER=

can reference "role" function e.g.,



OWNER= userid@node
OWNER= QUIET:,OWNER(HELP-DESK)

Thus owners of the HELP-DESK list would also quietly own list-x

Or another example

For list-x, keyword ...

OWNER= userid@node
OWNER= QUIET:,(HELP-DESK)

Then subscribers of the HELP-DESK list would also quietly own list-x
