Is the new UK FOI law that broadly interpreted? IF so then two things can happen to this list (and others)
1. it will stifle all professional discussion or
2. folks should consider getting a personal email account (hotmail, yahoo, gmail or any other free email account) and subscribe to the lists using that account.
if solution 2 is used then folks could post questions in a broad manner without exposing what authority/agency/organization they belong.
just a suggestion from across the pond.
