If MCN-L is not intended to be a general discussion forum, but only strictly limited to MCN business and announcements, then I withdraw my argument that it should be opened to the general population. And yet, I would hope that annuncements made to it, at least those that may be of interest to the fairly large non-member interest group be copied to related listservs. I wonder, is it possible to operate a listserv with two categories of membership, one with full read and post priviliges, and another with read and no posting, or read and post to a moderator? Perhaps one of these permutations might satisfy. -- ______________________________________ Robert A. Baron Museum Computer Consultant P.O. Box 93, Larchmont, NY 10538 [log in to unmask]
