Re: M-TH: Membership etc
G'day George, There is a way to do this, but I'm not sure whether everyone has access to it (I really don't grasp the technology's workings, I'm afraid). I don't think this list has discussed a policy on disclosing the e-identities of subscribers. For my part, I am happy for such disclosure to happen, but maybe that's an issue for Thaxists to discuss first. My reservation is based on the tendency of most Thaxists to remain in lurk mode. This may, I suppose, be for a good reason (although a few more contributors would greatly be appreciated). If Thaxists don't wish to make their feelings known on-list, please drop me a line off-list. Or if the information has always been publicly available, it'd be good to know that, too. Moderators should know that sorta stuff, I s'pose ... Cheers, Rob. --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

This possibility was removed after discussions about not making things too easy for cyberspooks. What replaced it was the occasional moderator's report about the numbers subscribed and a breakdown of their nationalities. Cheers, Hugh --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

Cheers, Hugh This possibility was removed about 3 years ago, just before the list was moved from Spoons, because spammers were able to get the list of names automatically and bombard subscribers. It may still be necessary. Possibly though the moderator could get the list and post it as an ordinary e-mail message to the list. It is a pity because it reduces the collective spirit of a list.
