Laura, m'dear, you could ask _me_, too, you know, directly that is.

I don't keep the mailing lists, simply because no one ever asked me to.

I do, however, keep, and post to news.answers, rec.answers,
rec.arts.sf.announce, and rec.arts.sf.misc, a list of SF-related newsgroups,
including the charters of the rec.arts.sf.* hierarchy itself. People do
seem to read my post, as every so often someone asks me to add a given
group, update the charter of something, change the moderator's address,
etc.

Do you want me to put the mailing lists into my post?

Leanne, or Felan to _you_, Laura :-)
