I make a couple promises:
1) I will never reveal anything about a list member, including
whether or nor they are a list member, that they have not not
explicitly revealed themselves. Basically this means I can't
can't and won't say squat about anyone regarding their list
membership.
2) Participating in one of my mailing lists is equivalent to
having a conversation in my living using megaphones while the
windows are open and everybody has tape recorders. Loosely: By
posting to the list you relinquish all publishing and republishing
rights to your message.
#1 incidentally is one of the reasons I won't allow HTML in any of
my lists -- too many possible vectors for privacy invasions.

My line is that the poster retains copyright, but not control over
the post, due to the fact that he explicitly relinquished those
rights for that post when he sent it to the list.
