I've been gone for two weeks and am just catching up.  Need to do a db
search on this to see what has been said.  Besides what I've seen from
Murph and Judith (she sent them to me) if Canada were to unilaterally
enact such a law my immediate response would be to delete all subscribers
in Canada (even though the Canadians who might wish to prosecute if they
didn't like something on the list probably haven't a prayer of getting at
me).  If it were to become a widespread policy, regardless of wehether the
list is moderated or not, there would be a very great temptation to say
"To hell with it, I don't need this, so what if it's a major professional
information resource with thousands of direct subscribers and countless
gateway readers.  If Canada, or any other government, is going to hold me
personally responsible for everything posted on the list, the majority of
which is distributed automatically without being seen by me or anyone else,
then it's bye - bye list."
