It has me, the sole owner. Though I barely glance at the posts. Personally
I avoid all dairy, but I don't have an allergy, and being single I don't
really relate to the problems of raising kids. I do look for people asking
to be removed and delete them. If someone would like to be a co-owner, so I
don't have to follow the list, it would be great.

Also as moderator I like to keep the size of the posts down. This does not
mean there is any restriction in the amount of original material written
and posted. But I ask that people include very little of prior posts when
replying to the list. Quoting of prior posts should be an absolute minimum,
if any at all. Also it is preferable to put the very small amount quoted in
front of the response. Think of it as a Question/Answer format. Minimal
quoting is especially nice for the third of the subscriber base that
receives the list in the once a day digest form.

I agree.

Don.
