Like I said before, I suspect I could host the list here (I've lots of
bandwidth, stable and capable servers, etc.), with mailman, but I don't
have the resources to be the list administrator too.  I don't know how
many subscribers are on the list though.

However accepting my offer effectively means living with the rather
strict implementation of my mail server configuration.  :-)  I.e. I'm
going to block the known spammers and open relays before they even get
close to the list (along with requiring that the list only accept
postings from registered subscribers).

I suspect the human resources limitations will be the issue no matter
where one goes (at least outside of places which pay for admin services
by selling adverts that get appended to the messages).  Tools like GNU
Mailman make lists easy to manage, but they don't totally eliminate the
need for a human administrator.

I don't think any of the primarily web-based forums (egroups.com, for
example) are appropriate though....
