Understood.  And if this is the proper forum, I'd like to see some
of those requirements listed.  

I mean, if this is the proper forum, why, I'd say

(1)  Knowledge of or facility with the topic.  
(2)  A true and abiding regard for that subject.
(3)  Dedication and time and energy.
(4)  Experience with the cycles of one-to-many list dynamics, and
(5)  A quick and sure hand in monitoring that spectrum.
(6)  Either the hands-on ability or an incessant sniveling personality
     to convince site adminstrators of the need for certain features, e.g.,.

                (a)  verified enrollment
                (b)  a quick and easy twit ban
                (c)  the list roster is open to none but the owner


What else?

I wonder if there are list managers who excel in both categories, the
technical and the operational?  When I see here comments like, `I'm not
responsible for private mail,' and `I don't care if my list is pirated
as long as it runs like it should,' I wonder.

Of course, if this isn't on-topic for this list, forget I said anything.
