[GMDC_Tech] Another way to get list info

[jp at ftml.net]

OK, this was just an additional answer to Caulder's question.  We are indeed using a listserv.  That's what this mailing addy is, and no one seems to have a problem using it for mail distribution.  Any additional usage is an individual choice.
