In the past, I have seen several requests for a good Windows adm list, and not a lot of responses. If there is one, I would like to know about it for the 2 (out of 10 Linux) windows machines I have to work on occasionally. I have found lots of Windows lists, just nothing like the plug lists (not just in Phoenix, but around the country I have have found Linux groups to be very helpful and friendly.

I am not sure what the cost is to administer a windows admin list.....but would it be heresy for plug to set one up? There are a lot of really smart cross platform folks on this list, and many have been helpful to me in the past with the occasional OT request for windows help. Those of us who have a need could subscribe, and the rest don't have to. I think that might be a better idea than the OT or win tag....I can readily understand that many on the list would not like to have the Linux stuff intermingled with Windows stuff.

Of course, if there is a good adm level windows list that is as friendly and helpful as this list is for Linux folks, then no need for a new list. Just a referral.

problems.
do we want to ask that, like ot, widows posts to the list use a [win]
prefix for those that may want to filter?
