I hope you have a WELCOME file sent to all subscribers letting them know what kinds of messages are (and are not) appropriate for your list. I co-own a list that discusses campus parking issues, and that commercial subscribers are free to listen in and contribute as long as they do not use it as a forum to hawk their wares, unless it specifically relates to points raised by our principle audience. This is all explained (and re-emphasized by private correspondence) in the WELCOME file. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "Helping U fulfill your e-mail needs" +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
