Sorry to bring up a subject you may have already talked out, but I am new 
to the list and am wondering about the comments about AOL and mailing 
lists. I did check in there, and noticed one of my lists is mentioned. 
I've had some new subscribers as a result, but it hasn't been a problem 
(so far). I posted this one on the 'new lists' list, so I was already out 
there. There's some other lists I have though, that could have a problem 
with that much publicity.

If this list has already had enough talk on the topic, private posts to 
me would be apprecaited. Thanks.
