Actually, the VERY BEST solution would be for us to buy our own time on a
server who can dish it out, then buy GOOD listserve software and do it
ourselves. My guess is that it wouldn't cost more than $200/yr to run, and
we'd have complete control of it. We could rotate the workload among
ourselves. I'd be willing to handle it for 3-4 days/month; that means only
9 other guys need to assist. Lets discuss it.

Lets face it, I find this list to be of IMMENSE help; it keeps me abreast
of what's happening with the PICS, and lets me see what people are thinking.
