Thanks for the clarification.  I'm not disappointed in the list's 
policies.  I'm disappointed that I didn't know what they were and that I 
wasn't a bit more careful with my email addresses.  I'm sure the 
information about how the list works is posted somewhere and I just 
didn't read it.  Oh well.
