Listowners should give careful thought to issues of security on their
lists.  My list is wide open and the logfiles are available to anyone
who knows how to retrieve them.  My list is housed on a university
computer in a state (Texas) with an Open Records Act.  I doubt that I
could block or refuse a direct request from a citizen of the state
to view those files.  I suspect many other states have similar laws
on the books.  Lists on public computers should not be assumed to
be private no matter what the listowner says.
