This would eliminate any future subscribers from becoming part of the list without first discussing it with you. If you do go this route, you will probably want to add the Validate= keyword to your list header to verify that you are the only person actively subscribing people to your list to prevent any mail-forging of your e-mail address. Also, you might want to look into sending off a private e-mail to all of your subscribers describing the situation as you see it and making it absolutely clear to them as to what you believe the conduct of your list should be. I recently send a message to every participant of my list with the bCC protocol after a person who had managed to get himself in a rather disagreeable position with many of the list members had decided to unsubscribe to move on with other things in his life. (He didn't decide to move on because he realized how other people thouight of him, but he had other things to commit his time to instead.) In any event, after he unsubscribed, and I sent this message out, I did get a few privayte e-mail replies from some of the members of the list, and list mail began to pick up again. You could also use a short term draconian approach and stick every subscriber on review until you clear this message up, with a message to the list describing what you are doing. It is my firm belief that the more communication a list-owner has with their list in times of difficulty, the better off the list atmosphere will be in the long run. Anyway, just my two cents worth.
