Organization Alert!!! This is fast becoming a formal club proposition..
I believe that cinch require clubs to have a fixed contact, and that wouldn't be a list server, they would probably want a mailing address, and phone number.... Then you get letters, need a secretary... etc. Just mentioning it while I was thinking it.. Given that the consensus for our anarchy was to avoid a structure at this stage we should maybe go a bit longer before exposing ourselves, so to speak, and having the required level of organization that entails.
