I don't mean to be pedantic, but you used the term "listserv" eight 
times in your note.  Listserv is a registered trademark for mailing 
list manager software by Lsoft Inc.  I believe the generic term you 
were looking for is "list server".

I have no connection with Lsoft and have never used their software.  I 
just feel it's important to make the distinction between their 
commercial software and the freeware Mailman.  Of course we all know 
Mailman is better! :)

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question about the practical limit 
on the size of an interactive list.  I imagine it depends largely on 
how active the subscribers are.
