Hi Matt, thanks for your thoughts I earnestly appreciate that, but when you do the math, well no offense intended, its not very convincing =( Consider this kind sir: If more time is spent protecting those whom disrupt the list than those who contribute, that is a net loss pure & simple. Should this list be free to all? Sure. But I'm espousing a more subtle distinction... Just as I would talk to others freely in a public square, I would NOT wear my personal info emblazoned on my vest pocket either. btw... I'm posting this after reading the website, & I took the liberty of using your email address to post this reply, hope you dont mind. But hey no biggie, even personal info ought to be free too, right? -- Mike Sanders www: http://freebsd.hypermart.net gpg: 0xD94D4C13
