The idea of reorganizing our listserve as a bit.listserv group sounds
like a viable idea.  Currently, our legal internship listserve has about
100+ subscribers.  What happens is that whenever a decent discussion
thread gets started some folks can't handle the increased mail traffic
and are forced to unsubscribe.
My concern is this.  What happens to those people who remain subscribed
at the physical listserve location once the listserve is distributed via
USENET (in the event that all the subscribers are amenable to this
change).  Will those subscribers receive all of the USENET postings as
regular e-mail.  According to the FAQ, it appears that physically
located subscribers will have their posts appear on the USENET.
My final concern is how much work will be necessary on the part of my
local systems administrator?  I almost had to promise him dinner and
drinks just to set the darned list up.
I look forward to learning more...

Thank You
