I agree. I quite frankly was never aware of bikelist.org as anything other than an extension on the email address of the CR list. Just assumed it is the server for the CR emails and those of several other bike-oriented lists. Which indeed seems to be essentially the case. Never until this thread did I go to the home page of bikelist.org. That is of some interest, as it has a breif description of the member lists, with links to their signup pages. However, no one I know worries much about the details of the servers on which their favorite websites run, and one could quite easily and happily make extensive use of the CR list while being blissfully unaware of the identity of bikelist.org. This list is about bikes, not computers, and though we ocassionally must come to terms with computers, like when we rallied together to help get Wool Jersey back up and running, no one should feel compelled to know anything about the server arrangement as a condition for CR membership.
