Twila: What's involved in being a list owner? I might be interested, but I would like to know what I would be getting into first before I volunteer. I have been encouraging Pam MacRae to join the list, and it is disconcerting to me that she is having so much difficulty. Is there anything we can do? Who is the current list owner?
