[Highland Park] Unauthorized archiving of mailing list content
Neighbors, I found out today that there is a site archiving the posts to the Highland Park neighborhood list without anyone's permission. I have contacted them to ask them to remove the content. Additionally, I found the fake subscribers on the list that were causing the messages to appear on the service, so it should be the cast that no further messages are archived in this way. I've updated the mailing list info page to remind everyone that redistribution of content requires permission from the author of the content. You can read the whole thing by following the link at the bottom of every post to the list. The service in question is "answerpot.com" and it was easy to find that our list is not the only one they've done this to. I've enabled a requirement on the list (temporarily) to require administrative approval to new subscriptions, but this measure won't guarantee that the things we posts are kept in our neighborhood--as you'll read when you follow the link below, there really is no way to know who's reading your posts so it's best to remember that when you are considering posting certain details on the list.
