[gothic-l] Proposal for Germanic History List

[Mark Hall]

I'll be staying on Gothic-L even with a Germanic History list.  Once the
list gets set up, I'll be happy to send ads for it to a variety of
archaeology lists...I need to do that to get EuropeanArchaeology sprung to
life, so if Tim or who ever doesn't mind I'll just bundle the two together
perhaps????

Just trying to be helpful....

Best, Mark Hall
