The Glorantha Digest certainly isn't the real world. I'll agree with
Erik there. But you should fill in the "Who is the List Owner?"
section of your "what my father told me" like this.

    Who is the List Owner?

    The List Owner is the chosen one of Issaries Goldentongue who
    labors to bring us the discussion we crave through the medium of
    the list, though secret and sacred duties such as "hacking
    digestification code", "flushing mail queues," "installing http
    indexing code," and "chowning old digests". All these duties are
    performed in the quiet and dark of night. Sometimes, the List
    Owner has been called Andrew of the Bell, other times Henk Long
    Field, other times Loren the Miller's Son, and Shannon Apple.
