Re: Urgent: We need a new JMP-L list owner!

[William Duckworth <wmd@iastate.edu>]

David Ikle might comment on how he managed the list before me.

For my part, the amount of junk/spam hitting the list grew so great  
that I quit trying to track down the few people trying to post  
without being members of the list to tell them to join and them post.  
I left them to email me directly (jmp-l-owner email address) and then  
I gave them the help they needed.
About once a month or so, I login to the list management webpage and  
remove email addresses that have been bouncing a lot lately. That  
plus responding to questions about the list sent to me directly is  
how I've run the list.
There is no hardware, software, networking obligation. You manage the  
list (but are called Owner).
I'd prefer to see the list turned into a proper JMP Users Forum  
myself, but that is beyond my skill level.
