How about posse-cali?  That's an acceptable-to-Californios and less
ambiguous abbreviation.

I have the teeniest, tiniest concern about the proliferation of POSSE
lists.  The main thing is the increasing fracturing of visibility.  We
_could_ do a manual update to this list every week from each POSSE
sub-list that had activity, but I have a wilder and less
human-requiring solution.

What if we subscribe tos@ to each POSSE sub-list, but set to receive
the digest instead?

That would mean typically a daily email from each sub-list sent to
this list, to read or delete as you please.  You can even set a filter
per sub-list, depending on your interest, etc.

I've never run digest mode before.  I presume it doesn't send anything
if there is no activity?
