jackie is the list manager (maybe owner too but, technically ... ncsu owns it) ... unless i am mistaken and, she is not to blame for ANYthing ... in fact, over certain episodes ... she has shown (far more than i would have) REMARKABLE patience ...
penn state manages some 350 lists ... and, i have no idea if we have ever insisted on the "lack of spam" that appears to be the situation in jackie's case ...
but, since it does appear that the edstat list is in jeopardy ... i think we should do what we can to hold on to it ... and, it seems like making it ONLY available to subscribers is the best way to accomplish that ...
