One thing I forgot to mention is that I will not send the subscriber list,
or the text file containing the introductions for the people on my list, to
any member of my list who does not first give an introduction of
themselves on my list.  As it has previously been noted by a few people,
my policy towards introductions will not work effectively in every single
list.  In particular, if a list were to have a large number of subscribers
very quickly, this would make very little sense.
