Migcruisers digest, Vol 1 #128 - 8 msgs

[The Gammons]

No dues are needed for the autoex list. It is free. The bigger, grittier
list is stormlogic, and it costs. Now with Google, we can fly free.

So all we need worry about is the ewbsite, which is still to be worked out,
but should be cheap to free,
