Sorry, though I got that celar enough: This is an announcement-only list, ie. in your terms a "news-letter". > And people think of it different ways, too. We see different > terms used.

Definetly ACK! Suggestion: Open list: A list where everyone can post to directly. Every posting will be distributed automatically. This what you might call an ordinary discussion list. Open list (members only): A list where only list member can post to directly. Every posting will be distributed to the list directly. Moderated list: A list where everyone can post to but where every posting needs to be confirmed by the list moderator/admin before it will be distributed to the list. So potentially not every posting will be distributed. Moderated list (members only): A list where only list member can post to and where every posting needs to be confirmed by the list moderator/admin before it will be distributed to the list. Announcement list: A read only, one way list. Nobody except the list admin can post to this list. [I'd go for announcemnet instead of news, more general usage] Send-only list: A list where everyone can post to but where no posting will be distributed. So this is just for collection. Send-only list (members only): A list where only list members can post to but where no posting will be distributed. So this is just for collection. Just a quick first though ;-) Cheers, Marcel -- __ .´ `. : :' !
