The following lists all have the same address at mailto:@listproc.wsu.edu, I found them by sending the message: lists to:mailto:listproc@listproc.wsu.edu Any listproc or listserv will return names of all its lists in response to such a message. I have no idea how active these are. To get a list of subscribers (sustag-l has about 380), send the message: review LISTNAME to: mailto:listproc@listproc.wsu.edu or to another listserver for other lists.
