[CMS-Forum] First message to CMS Forum mailing list.

Mailman can be a big embarassment. You should consider slowing down when 
working with it.

Second thing I like to find out is how you collected emails. Was it a 
transfer or some sort? or did you have to pick berries out of the 
mailing list using email harvesting software?

Live and learn and see how this other mailing list will fare.

By the way, for someone who is bit out of it, why are we doing the 2nd 
mailing list?

All the best
