[pianotech] real costs of running a listserv list

[Phil- EMVKEYS]

Some notes on the list I was referring to in my "real costs" post - to the best of my knowledge:

- it has been in place uninterrupted since about the late '90s
- it has always been host out of someone's home
- I believe there are more than 1000 subscribers globally
- it has always been privately owned
- current administrators began as subscribers
- it is "owned" by the current admins who prefer to pay for it themselves
- it's technical value to it's subscribers is valued not unlike pianotech
- among the subscribers, the cross-section of personalities, experts, noobs, lugans and trolls is about the same

Although I didn't divulge the names of the list or the admins, I would be happy to introduce them directly with those interested in picking their brains

Perhaps let me know off-list if you think that would be helpful
