I use SVList to manage my three email lists.  No experience with CoolList as a
server from that end, but from a user end, I do.  And the experience wasn't
pleasant.  I got stuck on a list that would not let you unsubscribe.  It
was so
bad that people who kept trying to unsubscribe ended up putting together a
make-shift cc list to exchange ideas on how to go about getting off the list. 
In the end it took over a month.  Looking back, it was funny.  But only
looking
back.

The people who'd gotten stuck on that list were adamant about never trying
another list hosted there.  On a personal level, I treat the place like the
plague now -- no matter how interested I am in the subject, if it's hosted by
CoolList, I won't subscribe to it.
