[Boatanchors] List owner and e-Bay

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi Pete, WA2CWA

A good suggestion.

The unfortunate thing is that almost nobody reads the list rules and/or 
polocies when he/she signs up. Nor do they read the occasional reminders 
such as you suggested.

The 'only' way that I am aware of, having managed a dozen lists since 1997, 
is to covertly edit out potentially hazardous to a Ham's health posts! Let 
it be known, that I have NEVER edited mail in that fashion! However, I know 
of many list managers who did, or do.

Some list managers do not allow a post to be posted until they first screen 
them. While this does prevent a lot of disputes, it also delays the post 
from being seen by subscribers. This way of doing things is fine, but it is 
impractical for all but small subscriber lists. It simply takes too much 
time to do it.

The policy that former founder/owner Alan Waller, K3TKJ had was clear. I am 
not absolutely certain what the policy of the new owner Scott Neder, KA9FOX 
is. I will communicate with him directly and pass on what I learn.
