Depending upon the nature/topic of a given list, 'outsiders' may wish to destroy it. [The Internet is hardly the sole province of academicians & professionals, after all. ;-) ] Lydia provides a forum for Vietnam War vets; I provide one for gay, lesbian, and bisexual librarians [I've actually been fairly lucky in that major disruptions have been few, and have generally been dealt with swiftly and effectively]. Deliberate sabotage a possibility? Yes! Surely there are lists dealing with abortion/right-to-life issues, politics, adoptive rights, child abuse, 'survivor' issues, religion, etc., etc., which certain individuals would love to see die. Thus, overt attempts at sabotage occur... Later, kt
