A good point. I think your idea of a policy statement is a good one. I
suspect that what bugs Leila most (as it would bug me) is the virtual theft
of her name and email address by the new list owners. If this were known
to be the price of subscription, then she could decide if it was worth it.

other lists I run aren't "free" - the original donations and continuing
financial support of my advertisers keeps it running. I just don't sell
information about the subscribers. I probably need to write up a policy
statement, too, to keep that clear.

its coinage. Lelia - help!
