To answer the question Lisa Recupero asks before the message she has forwarded from GovDoc-L: It is assumed by the moderator of this list that the person forwarding a message has the approval of the sender of the origional message. In the real world of the matrix this is done only when the person forwarding the message: 1) thinks to do so; 2) feels like taking the time; and 3) judges that they need to do so. As I just stated I assume forwarders have done so and hold them responable. However I would check the message, as I do all messages, trying to spot potential problems, and asking about questionable messages.---------------Johnnie ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am forwarding this to MAPS-L, needless to say, since they point out they don't have access to MAPS-L send replies to them. Is it legal to forward messages to a list with out warning the original sender of the message?
