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. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = David L.
