Hi,
Would Eric or someone please give us a general idea as to what it should
cost to run techwr-l? I'm confused as to why sponsors and the like are
required when it appears to be a low-bandwidth operation. But then I don't
know how much time is required to manage the list or how much storage is
required for archival.
I'm interested in helping but need more info.
Thanks,
Chris
