	Where is the list-keeping traffic now that it deserves a newsgroup
to itself?  And what kind of lists are we talking about anyway?  You want
lists of cars, do it in net.auto (or whatever it's called).  You want to
keep track of the top ten songs, do it in whatever.music.  If you mean to
say you just want to be able to post lists, with no regard to what they are
lists of, I really don't see how you are going to get any kind of steady
readership.

	If you really want to exchange random lists, form a mailing list.
Actually, maybe the best place to talk about unrestricted lists is
net.lang.lisp :-).
