People posting to any list which doesn't have clear and binding statements of policy in regard to the distribution of their posts have no reasonable expectation that their posts will not be posted on billboards, used in hiring interviews, or placed on freeway billboards by jilted lovers or competitors. Heck, that's true for all mailing lists. There's no control of those packets once they leave your NIC. Don't want it published? Don't send it. Period. > It's just common courtesy. Then you might also like to look at GMane, let alone the vast number of lists which get gated to private newsgroups by aspiring geeks who prefer news readers to MUAs and which are then leaked to DejaNews/GoogleGroups due to sloppy inn2 configurations (I gave up when I passed 2K last time I surveyed). -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
