Dear Readers,
 
I am looking for a site which can host a mailing list which I intend to start
for a non-profit organization for which I represent. I am hereby providing
a summary of the organization which will tell you what we stand for.
 
The discussion in this mailing list will be on the issues mentioned below. I
would like to point out the fact that the organization is a total non-political
one and we request you sincerly to support our just cause by hosting our
mailing list.
 
I usually do not follows the discussion groups, hence I request to communicate
with me directly at my email address.
 
Thanks and hoping to see a reply soon.
