This has been done for the last six months or so. I've been posting a
continuing 'mailing list of lists' to mod.newslists for a while now, and it
has been pretty successful. [what, you've never seen it? Maybe your site
isn't getting mod.all, and therefore is missing out on a lot of good
stuff...]

Spaf is in the process of taking over the list, and it will be posted to
net.announce.newusers as well as mod.newslists from now on with the rest of
his regular postings.
