I'm sending this back to the lists.

I don't want to create a new mailing list. (which I think is what this 
procedure would do.) Nor do I think everyone on the list wants to send 
their messages to two different mailing lists just for my benefit.

what I am thinking of is more along the lines of debian-user is set up 
so that it is mirror as linux.debian.user and I can read it from google 
groups without having the thousands of users sign up for google groups
