We will have to consult with the thought police on that one.

Writing as list owner:
<<Gadzooks I hate typing that.>>
Not immediately. Initially I expect to publicise the list in
the various mailing list lists. Wait until that hubbub dies down, and
then move on to the web-based mailing list lists, until finally
hitting Usenet.
Good point tho. It may be wise to make subscriptions closed for the
first month or so... I won't put that on the web pages tho -- just
have the list refuse subscriptions.
