Yes, it is a rather widely distributed mailing list.  There are 240
subscribers, and several of those are mail-to-local-newsgroup
accounts.  Add to that that several people on the same site are likely
to read via nndir, and the ange-ftp nndir group to boot, I think this
mailing list probably has more readers than some newsgroups.

Still, it's less "public" in some ways, so I dunno about Alta Vistaing
it...  Should we take a poll?  Or rather, could those people who are
against indexing it make a noise?
