Thanks for the 2 sites Alan, I'll go take a look at them. Unfortunately,
I do not have a server or the money to buy one..but maybe the friend who
gave me web space for my site would permit me to use a majordomo on his
server...or maybe he has one i dunno....more in message below.

This is what I've done in the past, but after awhile they made it so you
cannot change from one ONElist registered address to another ONElist
registered address. For example:
I cannot take my current Worldspy lists and subscriptions under
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and transfer them to my Juno lists and
subscriptions under [EMAIL PROTECTED] since both of those addresses are
registered with ONElist.

Which is why I am looking into moving my 12 lists off of ONElist, and
reverting the 2 lists I co-mod back to the original owner or a new one.

Probably wouldn't do much good. I hate egroups worse than ONElist.

Is that free? Or cheap? And how do i go about that? Is that also software
run on a server?

Where can I find a cheap hosting service (NOT Esosoft/Topica) and one
which has a majordomo?
