Sounds great!  Of course this list is wonderful, but the "AOL" minority such

As long as we don't get too many "Turn $6 into Steamy Bijective Pixxx Debt 
Free!" offers, it'd probably be fine.
I don't know whether a newsgroup would tend to dilute or augment this list, 
however; any thoughts regarding "cross-posting" between the list and the 
newsgroup for a one-stop-shop in the preferred format?
