Dear Pieter,

I am aware that there are several list maintanence services available on
the Internet, such as Onelist.

However, they let you set up your lists with them so as to advertise their
products. You have no control over their list (which is no longer your
list) and if they go out of business, you have lost your list.

I want to use Listserv. Othewise, I am not interested. I certainly to not
want to give the e-mail addresses I have collected with great difficulty to
some other organization.

I am having a lot of problem understanding how Listserv works. I do not
understand whether it runs off of my PC, or off of my ISP or from central
Listserv site for example.

What is shogi.net ?
