Ok, got that.

True, but like Kathy I am not sure why it (systers-admin) comes up on
the public interface anyway. I've not seen this on any other mailing
lists that use MM.  Example: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo and
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo , dont have a public  'mailman'
list listed in their listinfo page while
http://dev.systers.org/mailman/listinfo lists 'systers-admin'
publicly.  Please help me understand this difference and what I am
missing.

Thanks
