What about totally uncentralized. Instead of using a system like majordomo.com, each person maintain a list of "subscribers", I would be willing to at least attempt to be one lightening rod for "subscriptions". Since I am using the schools machine to read the list, and I don't have any extra priveledge, I would have to do it manually and might quickly stop, but I would be willing to try. In this way, everyone is moderately censored by the processor time expended in mailing a message CC:'d to everyone, but no one could effectively do any type of blocking of the list. Those acting in the place of majordomo could regularly trade lists for alphabetization, (so that the lists should be identical), and file comparing. This list could then be sent to anyone who wanted to be a "subscriber" so that they could post as well. A more effective way would be to have the distributed list as previously discussed, or even maintain one account or web-page to hold the names, but I can't help with that. Just an idea. One small problem, with such a list, advertisers may feel less obligated to follow standard rules of ettiquite. They may feel that the list is even more "open season" than they as a group feel now. I hope that everyone will post to this thread as I would like to be able to "fall in" with the majority decision. To do that, there needs to BE a majority decision.
