Hi Merelice,

I don't know what you are looking at, but when i hit the link "Other  
lists you can join..." on the home page of the GRP website, i get to:

	http://www.green-rainbow.org/mailman/listinfo/

And if you scroll down, ... crap it is not there. Wait i have an idea...

Yup! Ok, the problem is fixed. The link "Other lists you can join..."  
was directing to http://www.green-rainbow.org/mailman/listinfo/ but  
it needs to AND NOW DOES direct to:

	http://green-rainbow.org/mailman/listinfo/

This may seem minor, but lists have two domain name settings:

1. what domain they prefer for email -- this is settable in the web  
gui admin area for the list
2. what domain the list lives at - this is only settable by a command  
line script -- which we do when we create lists. This command sets  
BOTH domain settings.

And it turns out that if a list is set to live at just green- 
rainbow.org, if you go to www.green-rainbow.org/mailman/listinfo/  
they don't show up. YET if you go to just green-rainbow.org/mailman/ 
listinfo/ lists at BOTH www.g-r.org and just g-r.org will show up!

Thank You Merelice for uncovering this issue with the link. Rainbow  
Caucus list is a new one and had its location set with the script.  
Older lists all are living at www.green-rainbow.org.

Techies, take note. I have updated the:

	/usr/local/doc/Add-Mailman-List.txt

document to add information about this issue when setting the location.

Peace,
Dan
