Thought you guys might be interested in this message received from the
Executive Editor of epulse.
Actually, sending you this message and my reply to it gives me an idea.
Perhaps we can now lurk on epulse and report back to gp-uk?
Suggest we pay pulse 20 quid or so for publication on gp-uk (Trims, of
course, being the richest man on the list should pay ;-)

Not a very good start I am afraid. You have just compromised your
security (and mine!) by including a huge list of names and e-mail
addresses in this distribution list's header!
Since we are already subscribers (you wouldn't have known the e-mail
addresses otherwise), the entire message is of no relevance to me.
Please don't waste my precious bandwidth with messages like this again;
and ask my permission to be included in an open distribution list :-)
