(anyone know who came up with the term "email exploder" that the Court used instead of "mailing list"?)
The only time I've ever heard the term was in conjunction with the email sent out by the Clinton campaign during the last election. I probably misunderstood what was going on, but at the time I assumed that it was a little different than a mail list. My impression was that it was for broadcasting rather than disucssing (ie., only the campaign could use it), and that it was hierarchical in nature (mail goes to a dozen or a hundred "exploders" who then send it out to a couple of hundred thousand individuals).
