I applaud what you're trying to achieve. But, the law being as dumb as it is, what you are proposing could well be considered illegal in some jurisdictions. At the very least, anyone replying to the list manager on behalf of an unknown user (who may be mailicious in intent) potentially opens himself up to a very sticky time with the authorities in the event of things going pear- shaped. And as the list is international in nature, do people in the UK wish to risk being extradited to the USA, for example, to stand trial? I for one would most likely not risk it, I'm afraid, having seen an example of how legal ignorance in the UK of normal computer use results in reasonable actions becoming prosecutable. -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
