To change the subject completely: Occasionally, some of us get notes posted that are not advertisements as such, but that are requesting money for various funds and/or foundations. I am unsure of how to deal with such items on my lists. On the one hand, if the foundation is connected with the subject of the list, it is probably a good place to solicit donations and interest from. On the other hand, I would regard these as junkmail if I received them in my snailmail box, and throw them out at once. I also do not like the precendent that it sets. How will we know if the foundation/charitiy that is requesting money is legitimate? As a director for a not-for-profit research organization myself, I can see why it is so tempting to ask for help on the Net. Any thoughts on this matter?
