We may have done (I am not doubting Clare, I just don't have any memory of this conversation), but I wonder if there is actually any point to doing this. The list is an unmoderated public list - anyone who finds their way to the Synod website can subscribe to it. The command to get a list of members is disabled so there is no way of finding out who is lurking on it (which I think is a good thing, spam-wise), so I think one needs to consider that anything posted to the list is a public comment at least within the UCA. If it's not something you're comfortable about having everyone in the Uniting Church hear, then this list is probably not the place to post it. This, of course, is very different to passing posts from the list on to members of the media and other people outside the Uniting Church, for which I would expect people to ask my permission. If we want to go the way of getting permission to pass any posts at all on, that needs to be included in the welcome message that people get when they subscribe and someone also needs to remind members periodically. There is also, of course, a difference between forwarding whole posts (which give context) and forwarding snippets (which quotes people out of context and is open to misunderstanding).
