	Don't know that it would be lost - some railfans just might not find it
interesting!  And that's why a NewsGroup type set up might work a little
better than a mail list - those topics not of interest can easily be
skipped over.  But that is assuming an awful lot - i.e., that the text
is in harmony with the Subject line!!
	As an example, just *read* thru 88 postings in a railroad newsgroup -
actually, I didn't read any of them - just looked at the headings and
kept going!

	Could you please define *homefront?*
