Carl, there's a secret I haven't told you about. The list administrators
can indeed get this list by email quite easily, as long as your email
address is registered as an administrator's address and you know the right
passwords, etc.

And it also keeps everyone's email addresses from being automatically
stripped by all those spam programs that go out to mailing lists and get
all the valid email addresses they can find.

There's a "count members" button that says we have 651 members today.
Let me mention, by the way, that the B-Hebrew list has revived nicely under
the leadership of Brian Rocine, with interesting, relevant posts and a
friendlier atmosphere. They now have 393 members.
