Myra and WEST list subscribers: Subscribe. Not to subscribe. I think those words say it all. We either choose to belong to a group or we choose not to belong to a group. Translated: I believe all mailing lists should belong only to those who identify ourselves and go through the subscribing process. There are rights enjoyed by us who belong to the subscribers' group. Those who do not belong should not enjoy those rights. Prime of course is the right to benefit from each other's research. Enough said! Fran
