Hi all,
 
the following is a copy of a proposed mailing list I posted on
some of the rec.gambling newsgroups. I have currently about 25
people interested in such a list, but don't know of any site
hosting this list. Of course I expect more listmembers once the
list is set up and running.
 
I would prefer a site in Europe, but since 1/3 of the potential
listmembers actually is from North-America, a sponsor from the US
or Canada would not cause undue transatlantic traffic.
 
The quoted posting explains the contents of the mailing list.
Discussion with potential members showed that one of the immediate
goals of this list would be the creation of a FAQ about gambling
in Europe.
 
I would be happy to find a site sponsoring our list and help us
sharing the information which is available to us. Please answer by
email, because I'm not a member of your discussion group.
 
Thanks,
Ernst-Dieter Martin
