Please don't panic and leave the list. As has been discussed in relation
to lurking journalists, the archives of this list are available freely
via ftp for up to a year before they are deleted. Even if we could vet
all members reliably when they join (which we can't) the archives
would still be available. As stated in our introduction file - repeated
in the monthly review:
MEMBERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSIDER COMMENTS POSTED TO GP-UK TO BE IN
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Although this is a mailing list and not a newsgroup please bear in mind
that the archives are available to the public via ftp
Perhaps the only way to avoid such problems would be to set up a private
list server: I believe software for this is available. Try:
URL:ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/mail/list-admin/software-faq
Trims.
