[Buddha-l] Make the subscription list visible to subscribers?

[Donna Bair-Mundy]

Aloha,
    The Venerable Doctor Professor Sage-in-Residence Listowner Hayes 
presented listserv members with three options regarding e-mail address 
visibility:

1       Visible only to the administrator (the default setting)
2       Visible to all subscribers
3       Visible to the entire universe, including God

Although I have only recently returned to buddha-l after an extensive 
hiatus and rarely post even when "active" and thus merit only a partial 
vote on the matter I would prefer option two with instructions for the 
"opt-out" provision sent to all users at the time the list is 
re-configured.  That option seems to ameliorate privacy concerns while 
providing a useful service to a member who wishes to contact another 
member without sending an "is so-and-so still on the list" message to the 
entire congregation--I mean, population--of the listserv.

                    	Have a safe and joyful day,
