hi,

well it seems that James is hosting the list off of his own site in Canada, and yes one can do such things, normally a ISP provider will give you a automated group server handling program such as mailman and you can run a list, usually those who do this are companies and the list has to do with there product/products, but in this case he used it for the jfw list.

I think he is somewhere around Ottawa Canada.

take care,
elf
