We've received and read with interest your comments about our recent
posting to inform education professionals about how to obtain a free
subscription to Syllabus by e-mail. First, we'd like to assure you that our
intentions are to make sure that people who are interested in educational
technology hear about the magazine and have the opportunity to request to
receive Syllabus. Secondly, we'd like to point out that Syllabus magazine
is offered FREE to qualified education professionals. Thirdly, we'd like
you to know that we try to target only the owners of selected lists, rather
than posting to the lists directly, in an effort to allow list owners or
moderators to screen as appropriate.
 
This is not an attempt to sell subscriptions over the Internet. We're sorry
if this announcement is considered offensive by anyone, but we do want to
distribute our message to those who might benefit from receiving it.
