They provide management services to various Brian, I joined one list that was set up to do this, but it was run by an autocratic, unethical, self important, authority [dont dare disagree with me even if I ask for comments] type .. so was no good at all. What he was teaching would guarantee so many complaints to the Postmaster and the University it was scarey. A bunch of us who had been on that list discussed this and we all felt the best way to teach is by letting people do ... set up lists for the new listowners .. with yourself [and other trusted, knowledgeable listowner volunteers] and let them get hands on ... also a little newbie list where even the simplest questions can be freely asked and discussed. Good luck! Cleo [log in to unmask] Don't let any fool tell you there's only one way.
