"I know of what I speak because I have had two incidents on lists that I host, which rose to the level where threats were made to our legal counsel." we had a situation that required us to move our list from a university site to a private site so that we could exert some control over who could and who could not join the list. (or more accurately to remove malignant posters.) the very sad fact is list owners who are trying to provide a public service are often held hostage by unscrupulous individuals who will take any and all opportunity to further their own goals regardless of the general public welfare. bill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
