Which raises a question I alluded vaguely to earlier as being at the
very heart of this discussion -- who, in the economic sense, actually
*owns* the list?  Who owns the hardware?  Who keeps the purse?  I

have some serious discussion about this with Coyote and Tom.  And
likely sign some papers at some point.
