Ditto.  The only way anyone can find out about
this list is if a list member tells them, they
monitor all email flowing through a backbone,
or they as postmaster/etc get a bounce with the
message appended (boo hiss!), or something is
royally hosed and they get email not meant for
them.

And then, they have to get past the list owner
to join.

Yes, they could tap my line, catch all the
email, and then gateway it to a list of their
own, or just add their recipients, and spoof
their way in, but it's a lot of work, and at
least in this country [1], I could sue their
fannies off *and* have them put in jail for
a while [2], or maybe just blow them up. [3] [q]

[1] Texas
[2] where they would be unable to sit down,
    but not having a fanny could come in handy,
    so maybe I wouldn't be that nice [4]
[3] this being Texas and all
[4] that was prison-rape-bashing, not gay-bashing
[q] 8^)
