Why two lists on seperate domains?  That makes no sense at all really, other 
than to create a bunch of cross posting that will occur.  I think for now, 
one list will work fine...on one domain.  It matters not which domain that 
list is setup on.

Like i said before, the domain bsdadvocacy.org is in use right now, only 
because it wasn't being used, and my mother taught me to never let things 
goto waste....  I would be more than glad to use it for its original purpose 
though, as one of the domains used for the advocacy project.  If i have 
sounded pessimistic/pissed off in my other emails, its because i was indeed 
pissed off, because the project was going nowhere.  If its going to start 
moving forward again, lets continue then.

I will email you off the list with details.
