I wanted to see if there were enough people interested in participating
in such a list to make it a worthwhile addition to the original Squeak
list -- instead of just creating an abandoned notion like squeak-annc --
and to see if it was worth asking any of the Squeak list maintainers to
take the time and trouble to create such a thing in the first place,
since I do not have the webserver resources available to do so myself
[otherwise I would just go ahead and do so]. I do not take
"volunteering" someone else's time lightly.

I don't especially care if the list automatically adds the [sqh] prefix
or not - though this would be rather nice (assuming it did not duplicate
the prefix on replies).

[Does Mark Guzdial's Pluggable Web Server list automatically add the
[pws] prefix?]
