[ADMIN] Need List Admin Information and feedback

There are or were the following email lists 
gzg-l 
gzg-aliens
gzg-pedia
gzg-computer

Am I missing any publicly available gzg lists?

Which are still 'live' and functioning lists? 

Who is the list admin for each of these lists?

Do each of these lists operate on the same list-
serv and hence are list serv commands which 
operate on gzg-l also executable on the other 
three? If not, how do I find out which 
commands are supported?

Also, can someone remind me of where to find 
the gzg-l archives? And are there archives for 
the other three lists?

Digests are available for gzg-l. Are digests 
available for the other three lists? 

Lastly, someone proposed tags [SG] [DS] etc 
for the lists to enable effective sorting. Does 
anyone have a record or an URL which lists the 
proposed tags? 

My thanks for the information, I am attempting 
to compile all of this information for a page on 
www.stargrunt.ca of use to new and old list 
members alike and those interested in joining. 

Also, just a general question: If I include a 
politely worded list of recommendations as to 
gzg-l ettiquette, would that be out of place?
Things I would plan to mention:
- plaintext only (no RTF/HTML/etc)
- no attachments
- re-read posts before sending (for meaning)
- avoid me-tooism and posting when you don't 
have something interesting to add
- use the archives, especially before reposting 
something that might have been dissected 13 
times before
- be aware of the breadth and depth of 
experience and knowledge the list members 
possess, hence be careful when asserting 
opinions as fact or substituting supposition for 
knowledge because somebody out there 
probably _really_ does know 
- post links, not images
- try to stay topical on postings 
- try to maintain an appropriate subject line
- be aware of the contextless nature of e-mail 
and realize most people don't mean to offend, 
hence recommend the use of frequent 
emoticons (smileys and the like) and similar 
constructs to replace missing body language 
clues (an example would be <*grin*> )
- flame wars are undesireable, and polite 
conduct is desireable. Truly controversial issues 
should be approached and discussed 
circumspectly and personal attacks are to be 
avoided. Off-topic issues or emotionally loaded 
issues are best discussed off list.
- a mention of the diversity of the lists 
subscriber base as including people from many 
parts of the world, many nationalities, and many 
ethnicities (and undoubtedly religions, world 
views, etc). 

Would this be something useful to new 
subscribers perhaps (if done in a non-preachy 
way)? I'd rather not have anyone feel that they 
were being lectured to, but I'm sure there are 
new people who are just arrived or will arrive 
for whom some of this falls under the category 
of "I didn't know" and if there was a resource 
that provided some guidance, perhaps they 
could avoid some of the typical cycle where 
people end up pointing out things like "you 
know, you said you think X is wrong, but X is 
actually a tank designer" or "your HTML is 
showing" or "aargh! you sent attachments!" or 
"please don't be offended John's tone" or 
"archives? what are those" or "digest? what's a 
digest?"... etc. 

Feedback is appreciated and gratefully 
received.
