For the record, here is a copy of my original statement:
: but many of the most valuable lists on the internet are run by
: people who are not knowledgeable about the technical aspects of proper
: mailing-list set-up
To maybe clarify a bit:
Anyone who has minimal social competence (i.e. is able to deal properly
with people) and is willing to invest a good deal of time and some money
is able to run a list well, provided that this list-owner
* is willing to learn the various required skills
* has the list set-up checked (and if necessary corrected) by someone
who understands all the technical details. (BTW is is my experience
that *many* ISPs don't have anyone on the staff who understands all of
the relevant issues well enough.)
* will get additional advice when necessary
NB.
