Folks

Speaking strictly as an amature here, in order to attempt to prevent SPAM, we
"confirm" every subscription.  We do not "review" or moderate the messages.

We assumed that those who were confirmed will not spam and no one can spoof
onto our list. Of course, we cannot prevent an authorized subscriber from
spamming, but as a group of high school alumni we didn't imagine anyone would spam
our list and have their identiy be known as they did so.

Aside from "trusting" our subscribers ::)) are these other assumptions
correct?
