        Anyone can join the list that wants to do so, all they have to do is send a
"SUB TIPS FNAME LNAME" message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they're
members.

        A reasonable assumption--but probably an erroneous one, unfortunately.

        At least, you have to give them credit for finding the _right_ resource for
their information instead of making unwarranted assumptions. View it as
having been "interviewed" by the students--a very legitimate method for a
student to garner information--rather than as having done their assignment
for them.
