There were a number of people interested in where the rest of the list from
MAISER were going, and in DIGEST for our list. HERE ARE THE ANSWERS.

With the ROOTSWEB admin. utilities it's not as easy as with the Mercury from
MAISER, and I have trouble remembering who is who with about 900 total
subscribers. When you ask me to do something with the list for you, please
tell me which of my lists you're on in the message.

Chris
