If we start to control what our mailing list owners are sending via =
their mailing list then I would be concerned about being named in any =
lawsuits.  I remember the Prodigy case (I think this was the service?) =
that got named in a slander lawsuit brought on as the result of one of =
its members slandering another on a Prodigy *moderated* forum. The only =
reason that Prodigy got named in the lawsuit was because they had =
claimed in the past that they moderate their forums, (and they have deep =
pockets). I believe all online services now say that they do not =
moderate any forums.  Just like these online services we do not want to =
be control over what our mailing list owners are sending via their =
mailing list, for risk of being name in a lawsuit.
