Just like Yahoo creates a "profile" for anyone that joins a Yahoo list (most people don't know it) Google sets up a google profile too. It doesn't have gmail service attached to it, unless you add that afterwords. If you'd like I can create a test list on whatexit.org for you to play with. > P.S.

Some states have a state-wide contract that lets schools set it up with minimal hassle. The school may already be set up just for its staff. Ask around. You could also set up $SCHOOL-mailings.com :-) Tom -- See you in Boston!
