Sounds like a plan and my web host package includes Mailman so it could be
almost identical to this list other than the name. Avoid the clumsiness
of a web forum or forcing people to create a Yahoo account. Actually
helped an animal related list move from an expensive L-Soft ListServe to
an (almost) free Mailman list a few years ago so I do have some
experience.

If someone wants to co-own please contact me off list. Be nice to partner
with someone more familiar with the topic of meteor wrongs than I am. Can
even allow pictures if others think that is a good idea?

Still waiting on my earlier post to be approved. Have put up a crude and
very unfinished web page this morning.

Will be adding more pictures the next few days...
