OK. Would it be possible to make this place visible on egro...,
sorry, yahoogroups? For example the following way:
1. Create [EMAIL PROTECTED] (LMY)
2. Subscribe LMY to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that
LMY is an archive of LMG. Make that archive readable to
world.
3. Make LMY moderated and not open for subscriptions, i.e., it
is ONLY an archive, it doesn't function as a separate list.
4. In the presentation of LMY at Yahoogroups, redirect everybody
to http://www.greatcircle.com/lists/list-managers/ for
subscribing there.
The idea in a nutshell: PR for LMG, by making LMG visible, and
available as an archive, at yahoogroups.
I can set this up, if the list here generally agrees that it's
a good idea.

OK. How about going down into this valley:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/moderators-n-listowners
That is a list for yahoogroups list owners. They could use
some direction, so I'd encourage people here to sign up on
that list as well.
