[p2p-research] list admin settings

[Ned Rossiter]

actually, I can't find the setting that allows multiple cc addresses.  
And in my years of list admin, I've never encountered a list like  
this that wants to cc extensive fields.  a few is fine, but the auto  
generator says 'excessive' cc addresses.

So, I wonder if people can just cut back on excessive cc lists.  I  
have quite a few admin posts to deal with like this, and to be honest  
it's a bit of a drag having to do more admin that is already the case  
in the admin-manic university (which is one of the reasons I've quit  
uni).

it's not so hard for posters to send 'excessive' cc posts in a  
separate mail.

if some one else would prefer to take over list admin duties, that's  
fine by me

best
Ned
