[Vision2020] A question for all - What's right/wrong with thispicture?

[Bill London]

Moscow Vision 2020 has, for more than 10 years, been an unmoderated community list.  Comments from elected officials or staff members are always welcome.

To strengthen its usefulness, V2020 members have set guidelines for participation including:
1. Subscribers should use their own actual names, no anonymous posts
2. Posts should focus on issues, not individuals, to lessen name-calling and petty bickering
3. No more than one post per day per person.

  Ted,
  Your comments are most welcome.  I did not anticipate the potential spam issues in my interest to send to such a wide audience.  I did not ask the individuals ahead of time and it may have been troublesome for some - I have not yet heard.  To those of you I may have bothered too much with my post, I extend my sincere apologies.

  Maybe my sending blind copies might be a solution for the problem you bring up, but there also must be a better way.

  Mark

    Mark et. al.

    Placing that long list of e-mail addresses onto a public list serve that could result in someone anywhere in the world on the Internet blasting all those e-mail addresses with a bunch of crap they don't want in their inbox is not a wise idea.

    Maybe all those individuals behind those addresses are members of the V2020 list, but I doubt it.  And if they are, it is redundant to include all those addresses.  Did you ask all of these individuals if they want to receive the potential e-mails that posting their addresses onto a public Internet list serve might generate?  As if we don't have enough problems with spam, scams and nonsense on the Internet?

    This response to your post answers a tiny part of the question "what part of this is not working and why is it not?"

    Notice that First Step no longer makes the V2020 subscriber list publicly viewable.  Good idea!
