Just as we get frustrated with good breeders who have no e-mail, the 
problem is far worse re: web access. Our older machines often define 
www as "world wide wait" and those in rural areas paying huge phone 
tolls quickly drop off the web bandwagon. I'd bet well under half the 
folks getting this list regularly use the w.w.w.

Something that has worked on the killies list is a general agreement to 
post fish available on Fridays only, and to put "LIST" prominently in 
the subject line. That lets people work out arrangements over the 
weekend, and put fish in the Priority mail very early in the week, so 
they don't spend a weekend in an unheated warehouse.

By restricting it to (approximately) one day, those offended by 
"commercialism" can be free of it most of the time, and can zap any 
message with LIST in the subject line. Would it work here?
