In other words, the listing below is an *understatement* of possible
lists.

Let's do some math:

[-16-]

====================================-29- = TOTAL OF POSSIBLE LISTS SO FAR   [!!!]
====================================
Quite obviously, although we could think of potentially hundreds (or more)
of lists related to marxism, I sincerely doubt if: a) there are enough
people to make all of the lists work, and; b) whether the Spoon Collective
is willing to support 29 or more separate lists.

It might help the process if the people on the marx-administration list or
the spoon-administration list gave us an idea of the maximum amount of
marxism-related lists that they are willing to support.
