>>2. What are the practicalities of setting Vocalist up as a newsgroup -
e.g. rec.music.vocalist ? I subscribe to a couple of rec.musicmakers
lists and the only drawback is the spam, but there's not been a lot of that.

Long ago we agreed that we didn't want to be a newsgroup. I think our member-
ship probably would like to return to what we had before -- a list which is
housed at someplace like a university with a list owner who looks after our
interests. I believe the big question has always been whether Marko wants to
take us back. If he does not, several others offered to house us. I got the
idea from Marko's recent message to us that he is still interested. However,
his busy schedule keeps him from dealing with this as quickly as he would like.
If others got a different perception, please speak up.

Perhaps the thing to do, if there is someone who wants to house us, is to go
there. If Marko finds himself in a position to take us back, then we can go
with him. if he does not, we can stay in our new permanent home. Anyone want
to make an offer (again!)?
