Oops, you made a mistake. I believe Michael wanted the superlist to
cover both Book People and The eBook Community. But that is easily
fixed. You can change the name of the group without upsetting any of
the group's other settings. Something like 'bptebc-super' (or
whatever). I suppose if you want to create two different superlists,
that's possible, too, but then that splits up the common purpose of
the superlist group to address common concerns.

If you make that change, I'll be happy to post an announcement to The
eBook Community. Or Michael can post it.
