Have any list-owners, who now have the TOPICS capability available on their LISTSERV, figured out how to _decide_ which topics, if any, would be appropriate for their list(s)? 1) Was it unilateral by you? (perhaps you searched the notebook for recent subjects:) 2) Do you plan on doing a survey? 3) Do you plan on waiting and see what other owners are doing w/ TOPICS? 4) something else? As an aside, I've received one comment from a list-owner who felt that list subscribers won't play nice i.e., that the users will tend to ignore setting the topic appropriately. (If you plan on REPLYing, I've set it to reply-to: me. I summarize if I get your comments by Tuesday, 6 Apr). /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner of one weekly digestified list -- Peter M.
