Happy new years to everyone, even if it's a little late... I finally managed to get myself back on this list after my other address rather unexpectedly decided to not work. Anyway, I believe Alex is in that regard correct. It all goes by, pretty much, how well the list admin(s) know the new prospect, and how much of a contributer *they* think he is. Being a former list admin myself (not of this list, I'll quickly add), I found that was the most effective way of insuring that the admin who took my place would, in fact, be active enough to maintain the list on a regular basis. Anyway, there's my usual 1.5 cents for this thread. James At 06:30 PM 01/01/2004 +0000, you wrote: >Grant, I think it's fair to say that list management really doesn't work as >a democratic process.
