One other possibility would be to simply create a new group at Yahoo Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com/start). It works pretty well, plus it has the advantage of automatically creating an archive that can be searched by members, so APH wouldn't have to answer the same question several times. Members could elect to participate in a Yahoo Book Port list via email, like they do now, or via a web-interface. Membership can also be restricted or open to the world. I don't know whether Yahoo places ads at the top of every message or not - but in any case, it would be a small price for a free service. Peter
