Existing list managers choose new or rotating ones from the pool of
volunteers.  I can't say I expect them to be overwhelmed with offers...but
maybe anyone interested in helping in that respect should raise their
hands now, to prove me wrong?  (I'm not volunteering, btw, not yet
anyway.)

If a list manager becomes noticably lax or abusive, then the Wrath of the
List (tm) form of demarchy will provide sufficient feedback.

Thanks.  An agglomeration of aphorisms is much harder to wield as a blunt
instrument of self-justification, IMO, than a set of formal rules.  (Not
impossible, just more difficult.)
