Hi there, We have an acceptable usage policy for our lists. It's not something that we stomp up and down to enforce, but we find it a useful document for listowners to clarify what's acceptable and what's not under our ordinary network AUP. http://www.heanet.ie/noc/lsv/aup.html It only loosely covers who can obtain a list, and what consititues an appropriate topic. It does cover destructive or otherwise unacceptable use, and the actions a list owner should take in case of problems. Hope this helps, Dave ------------------------------- [log in to unmask] Dave Wilson, HEA-NOC HEAnet Ltd, Marine House, Clanwilliam Court, Dublin 2 ph. +353-1-662-3412
