Thank you Alice for the recommendation of the Aldrich list you moderate. As I was in the process of registering for Yahoo so I could join the list, I read the privacy policy and it seemed to indicate their purpose was to collect information on you and you would in return permit cookies, etc. to allow them to bombard you with advertising from them and others, so I hesitated, as I already get so many unwanted e-mails. Am I correct in assuming I give up a lot of rights to them and receive increased e-mail volume besides the list that I want? I would invite anyone's comments about Yahoo lists.
