Considerations of joining lists can involve not just subject matter but practicalities of the underlying package; e.g., Listproc, Listserv(r), etc. At least consider the book _Managing Mailing Lists_, by Alan Schwartz, Sebastopol, CA, O'Reilly and Associates, 1998; ISBN 1-56592-259-X; also http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mailing/desc.html. The more general chapters, those not specific to a given package such as Listproc, Listserv(r) etc., give basic considerations and checklists one needs for any list or package. The above is the only book I have found so far on mailing lists. There will of course be numerous FAQs, personal recommendations, etc. from list members. I am replying on-list as the above can be useful to less experienced members and lurkers. Doug L.
