[GSBN] a Cob list serve

[Bill Christensen]

There's already a Coblist out there... been around since 1996, according 
to the archives.   I support making use of the existing resources 
instead of reinventing wheels, too. No sense in diluting a small community.

Coblist mailing list
Coblist at deatech.com
http://www.deatech.com/mailman/listinfo/coblist

It's not a high traffic list by any means, but there are sometimes 
interesting discussions there.  It peaked around 2003 with 2146 
messages, but now is down to less than a hundred a year.  There's some 
good info in those archives, too, as I recall.


Regarding the mailman-owner at sustainablesources.com and other such lists, 
I don't monitor those addresses.  But you can always find me at this one 
and many other @greenbuilder.com addresses.
