yes, you're going to hear about that one...

Unfortunately, my only net access is via mit, and for some
strange reason (bullheadedness, no doubt), unix is treated
like a toy around here.. (sigh) therefore, all of their
arpa hosts are non-unix machines.

hmm... well, maybe the list could be distributed 
to ANY host, but crypt and then uuencode the messages at your
own local host... at least this way, i can get the list,
>and< it's avail only to the pople with the key... (someone
would have to phone or snailmail the key to all of the list
recipients)...therefore, it is `more' secure...unless the
devious types at a site have crypt trojan-horsed to keep
records of keys... (heh heh)
