I have already asked one use to leave a mailing list I manage because of this issue. Whether or not in (UK) law I or other list members (but mainly me) may be liable for anything is a guess to yet be tested, but I am not willing to either take that risk, or let stupid people/companies/lawyers get the world used to this. That particular mailing list is not public access, but nor is it limited to members with legally binding contracts... rgds, -- Peter Galbavy Knowledge Matters Ltd http://www.knowledge.com/
