>I agree with the gist of responses to this problem. To draw a simple
analogy: if you write a letter to one individual, or a number of specific,
known individuals, that could be considered a private communication, with
a subsequent right to privacy regarding the content. But write a letter
to, for example a newspaper, and you instantly forfeit any claim to
privacy and considerations of personal property. Do you tell the newspaper
to exclude your letter from the microfiche copy? I think not.<

Excellent analogy. I'm always puzzled when someone on the list (and this
has come up before) willingly blasts their message to a thousand or more
people world-wide yet seems horrified at the thought that anyone would read
it. But since it HAS come up before, and since it now threatens to sabotage
an immense amount of time-consuming volunteer work by Dan on an excellent
and valuable record, I think something should be done to keep it from
happening again in the future. I propose that the group's charter, or
whatever it is called, that is sent to all members upon sub*scription,
clearly indicate that all correspondence with the mailing list is
considered to be in the public domain (or even to be copyrighted by the
list and not the individual). Anyone who is unhappy with the prospect of
something they write to the list being seen by anyone should be invited to
un*sub*scribe. Anyone second the motion?
