Err, yeah, that's what I meant. 

[1] I know these "team" addresses actually do have discussions, but not
in the same manner as the "list" addresses.  Team's are generally not
open for Joe Gnomer to subscribe to.  The discussions are just among the
team members, and sometimes a few other people, who get individually
copied on all mails in a particular thread.
