thello again,
Sorry for the vast amount of emails. A couple people weren't totally
sure how mailing lists worked, so I wanted to kind of give a quick overview.
A mailing list is pretty much what it sounds like: a number of users are
subscribed and emails can be sent to the list which go to everyone.
Think of it kind of like a forum, where the email threads are the
threads. Posting to wit-cs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx pretty much sends your message
to everyone on the list. The announce list is different in that I (along
with future admins) are the only ones that can post on it. So it's a
moderately low traffic version.
The alternative which I just thought of after dealing with this list
would be to use a forum. We could vote on that next meeting as well, but
if there are problems or someone has alternative ideas, please let me know!

Take care,
