Very good point. Thank you.

I was concerned about this point. Lists do vary.

This is indeed what I'd like to say. In only a few words, if possible.
I'm in favor of helping to lay down a few guidelines, but what matters
to me most is simply that there's nothing I can do to control the use
made of and destinations of posts made to the list. Are there sample
disclaimers about that I could use? I've done a search for "disclaim"
in the lstown-l archives, but what I pulled up are a lot of messages
with a disclaimer at the end! ;-)
