I occasionally forward Hasafran messages to the Hebrew/Judaica faculty here at the Univ. of Utah. These are normally messages concerning new books or new websites that might be of interest to them, or other library issues in their fields of study. I do not strip out the name of the original sender, because I think it lends authority to the message I am forwarding. However, I do not forward "opinion pieces" or other messages of a personal nature, though I think that once one has ventured to broadcast an opinion on a list, one cannot expect privacy or confidentiality.
As I see it, Hasafran is a professional list, and therefore we ought to be free to share information from it with other professionals. In fact, as a university librarian, part of my job is to keep the faculty informed of library issues.
