I didn't know any services still limited the title length.  LISTSERV
sure doesn't, and hasn't since they got away from the 1980s mainframe
limitations.

I'm managing yahoogroups lists named things like SmarterBandsters,
BandsterWorkout, and so forth...and many there are longer.  Even the
university lists at Boise State have long names in almost all cases,
except for the "antique" ones that go back to the "olden days". If
athletictrainers or englishmajors works on campus, why not a long one
here?
