This isn't a bad idea, and it's been done before. Perhaps the
best example I'm aware of is the sun-flash group of mailing lists,
which grew to the point of being so large that the editor had 
large organizations set up internal exploder lists to cut the traffic.

AOL users represent over 10% of the subscribers on my mailing
lists, with Compuserve representing another 5%.
