I belong to several other email lists that use the exact same
software, and got this response:<br>
<pre wrap="">I doubt it. I asked somebody who admins 5 different lists. He has them all hosted on a single box that he pays $8/month for.
Seems very unlikely to me. I'd ask for a breakdown of their numbers.
So lets see the numbers ... since the software if <u>FREE</u> to download, use and upgrade.
For reference, downloads, documentation, features, etc, here is the software website:

now have an excellent pool of individuals to volunteer to run
it.

Now let me get this straight. A common or garden mailing list,
tens of thousands of which are in operation at no cost to anybody,
costs in excess of $17,000 and is going to need volunteers?!
Volunteeers to do what? Take the money and run? Count me in :-)

Keep on digging, Keith. We can still see you.
