Chuck,

I would suggest one change.  Make "Review= Owner" instead of
"Review= Private"  This is so no one can subscribe to the list, issue
the review command to get a copy of everyone's e-mail addresses, and
then un-subscribe.  It's a trick spammers have learned.  If someone
really needs a copy of the list, all they have to do is convince you
that they do, and you can send it to them.

Harold (who's been doing this for a real long time... and as of
5:00 P.M. yesterday is officially re-tarred from the university.)
