I'm not sure that's completely true. If you go to
<http://www.egroups.com/list/list-managers/info.html>,
the URL I noted yesterday, it distinctly shows the egroups address as
being [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you look at the fullinfo
link (which is somewhat hidden), it's the greatcircle info/intro file.
I'd say if you asked them, they'd say they're simply setting up a
centralized/standardized point for their users to access the list,
not that they're attempting to "take" it over. I'm not sure it's any
different than any other exploder type list, other than it's real
public and visible.
That's not to say I necessarily agree with this interpretation or
that it can't be improved, but I'm sure from looking at it that this
is whatthey're thinking/intending. I think it's rather muddled,
myself, but there sure isn't any attept to hide ownership or mislead.
IMHO.
