It's a moderated conference, but I wouldn't call it closed as membership is

open to anyone, although an interest in marketing through new media helps.

retain copyright, you're allowing free distribution of your email by

posting it in a public forum. I suppose I should add the legal-ese version

of this to the welcome message (although I doubt it would be that

welcoming!), but I wanted to avoid the legal gobbledegook. I can add it if

there's a strong feeling...


Of course, it's good form and polite to seek a poster's permission before

forwarding on something they have written, this also goes for making sure

that when quoting someone's email you attribute it to the correct author.
