In only a few words, if possible. I'm in favor of helping to lay down a few guidelines, but what matters to me most is simply that there's nothing I can do to control the use made of and destinations of posts made to the list. Are there sample disclaimers about that I could use? I've done a search for "disclaim" in the lstown-l archives, but what I pulled up are a lot of messages with a disclaimer at the end! ;-)
