I think we're drifting here from a logical format. If there is to be shared
ownership, I think that needs to be done with a different database. It could
be a nightmare from the admin side if you group things by who wants to own
what lists, rather than by domain. I believe the initial point behind the
start of this is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be able to
cohabitate on
the same install.
