Rebekah,
Thanks so much for setting up this discussion list -
i'm already finding it productive and helpful to make
contact with others and witness discussions - nice to have
like minded messages occassionally to lift my spirits
or challenge me to think when faced with the endless
bureacracy that comes thro the ether....
I'd like to have a print out too of subscribers if that is
possible to find.
Like Carolyn, I don't like too much regulation tho I
suppose if there is a real risk of being bomarded with
things that won't lift my spirits or challenge me that
could change - i find my delete button works quite quickly
but there would be a real  problem  if attachements are
sent which can overload my mailbox.

I don't understand how access is controlled but may be we
could simply specify something along the lines of postings
are welcome that fit with a commitment to psychologies that
contribute to community well-being, power sharing, social
justice and social support.
