Actually, Utne Reader is on-line.  Also, they have an active E-mail
Salon program, which is very much like the "virtual community" concept
you describe.  This could be an excelent way of publicizing the list.
I have two addresses for them:

salons [at] utnereader.com
utnereader [at] igc.apc.org

I don't have time to follow up on this, but perhaps Fred or Jim could.
