But how do you verify that all subscribers to the list are system managers?
My business card does not declare that I am one, so that is not a good test.
I can get ahold of company letterhead and say anything I want in a letter
to the moderator, and so can anyone else, so that is not a good method.
I don't think there is a good way to screen the subscribers without putting
burden on the moderator of such a list to verify the standing of his/her
readers.   Not a bad idea in theory though.  INFO-VAX has a fair amount of
subscribers who are in computer management/supervisory positions already.

It's an interesting dilemma...
