I may be wrong, but I think perhaps the Syllabus folk were under the
impression that all lists are moderated so when they post to the list they
are giving the listowner/editor the chance to accept/reject the posting.
If this was their assumption, they were guilty of poor research. If they
want to claim they consulted the listowners/editors, they should take the
time to learn who those parties are and ask them directly, individually,
for permission (for the most brownie points), or at least use the
listname-request address. If they did neither of those they can't claim
they "consulted" the listowner/editor. And a bit more research as to
which would be appropriate lists for their message would be nice, too.
