Subject: BHA: List of subscribers



Jenny, the secretary of the centre for critical realism,
contacted me because she is trying to enlarge the CCR
database of email addresses.  Do you mind if I send her the
subscriber list of the bhaskar list?

All the lists of the spoon collective have their "who"
commands disabled, so that nobody except the moderators can
retrieve the subscriber addresses.  In view of Tony Lawson's
remark "I do not even know who is on the list" I would like
to send the list of subscribed addresses also to this list
here so that you all know who is subscribed.

What is the downside?  Of course any list of email addresses
can be misused by spammers, and membership on some radical
lists may be a security risk.  On the other hand, keeping
those lists secret is undemocratic, proprietary, and hinders
our work.  Hans Despain, what do you think?  I will wait
until after Christmas, so that we have time to discuss this.
If you don't want your own address revealed please email me
privately at ehrbar-AT-econ.utah.edu.  Should there be no
response to this email at all I will go ahead and mail the
subscriber lists to this list here and to Jenny after Christmas.
