The problem with this is that the members-only filter of conlang will bounce such mail if it is sent. I _know_ that the list will get spam if we turn off that feature. As I said I get as much spam from open lists nowadays as I do from direct mail. Use of an email anonymizer is one way, but that strips a lot of information, and requires a fair amount of subscriber effort (I don't have time to figure this out). I must say that based on the current of reaction, it looks like we might as well go for it, and see if problems develop. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://www.dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
