From: John Cowan <cowan@locke.ccil.org>

I didn't know when I sent out the onelist announcement that
it would appear to come from "onelist team" rather than from
me, John Cowan (author of _The Complete Lojban List_, and all that).
Being the list owner, I didn't get a copy myself, and I didn't
think to put my own .signature file on it.

Sorry about that.

I've talked to Bob on the phone and straightened out these points:

> John Cowan and I are the Lojban List owners, and John would not have set
> this up without telling me ahead of time, which he did not.

I told Bob that I was going to do this several weeks ago, but he
misunderstood or misremembered.  He then pinged me because I hadn't
done anything, and I decided today that this day was as good as
any other.
 
> I do not know who "lojban-owner@onelist.com" will reach.

Me, at present; shortly, both me and Bob.

My belief (and Bob now accedes to this) is that such lists are hard
to come by at present.  The advertising done by OneList consists
of ads for OneList, which I consider benign, and includes a
how-to-unsubscribe brief message, which is very useful.
 
> Maybe I have said something about this to people without remembering it.

Indeed, but only to me, privately by phone.  Ah well....
