Yep -again...

Looks like the phoenix is exhausted. :-)

The MandrivaOT list is done by an individual, not connected with
Mandriva at all, and is essentially nanny-free [there's pros and cons
to that :-) ] There must be someone here with the capability to set up
an ubuntuOT list, and avoid the nannies. Given what is being said
about 'sounder', it sounds [pun intended] like this would be a good
choice. Anyone up for that?
