This being an open list, anyone who has an email address can subscribe. 

Although the prevailing atmosphere on the list is one of fairness and 

generosity, I don't think you can assume everyone is going to behave 

ethically. Plus it's sometimes a fine line between being inspired by an 

idea and stealing that idea. So I think you need to be realistically 

cautious. If having your idea used by someone else is a critical concern, 

you should not advertise it here.  Sorry -- wish it were otherwise.
