Hello to all on LISTOWN-L; I want to start a list and have a few questions regarding doing so before I jump into list ownership and the responsibilities involved. The list I want to start will probably be quite popular, and I expect to have 100 to 200 subscribers. I know that list ownership does involve time and commitment, and I am wondering if you can give me some idea on what kind of time commitment I would be looking at for a global, open, un moderated list of this size. I am looking at getting a LISTSERV sponsor for this list, though I have found a Majordomo sponser also for $5.00 a month. Does anyone have recommendations for command setups? Are different listservers more reliable than others? Is it difficult to find a listserver that sponsors lists for free? I know that there will be time involved in the administration of this list, but of course want it to involve as little work as possible so that I will have more time to participate in the list.
