| Dear Elizabeth
| 
| I note that all of the mailing lists have a footer except for [ga-abuse].
| This is generally in the following format:
| --
| This message was passed to you via the ga@dnso.org list.
| Send mail to majordomo@dnso.org to unsubscribe
| ("unsubscribe ga" in the body of the message).
| Archives at http://www.dnso.org/archives.html
| 
| I know that [ga-abuse] is slightly different but would appreciate some form
| of footer being appended.  This would allow list members to differentiate
| between private and onlist copies.

==> Dear Patrick,

    The reason for NOT adding the footer was to DISTINGUISH
    this small specific purpose related list from others.

    I imagine also that the List Monitors have no need to be 
    reminded where GA archives are, neither how unsubscribe 
    from a list - which is the sole purpose of GA lists footer 
    (I was getting a number of questions about it).

    I have no particular opinion on ga-abuse footer, but I know that
    technical people do not like to have a lot of same text added
    automatically.

| Perhaps you could also clarify whether the [ga-abuse] archives are available
| for viewing by list members?

==> When you have doubts, the best thing is to make experience.
    Did you try to get to 
        http://dnso.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga-abuse/Arc01/
    and succeeded without a user-password ?
    If yes, please indicate me the date-hour.

    The access to the ga-buse archives is password-protected,
    and the password was provided (am I correct ?) to List Monitors.
    We may change it from time to time.


==> I add another subject for all List Monitors and consideration:
    about non cross-posting of ga-abuse with others lists.

    I would not like to see the slitest accusation of Secretariat
    about filtering and censorship.

    The purpose of ga-abuse is to complain. Such complain MUST
    be allowed to any member of the DNSO (it is - the posting to
    ga-abuse is allowed to any subscriber to any DNSO list).
    Usually complains arrive only to ga-abuse - as Harald mention, 
    there was almost no cross-posting during last 3 months
    (forward from a list is not cross-posting in the technical
    meaning).

    Now, if the Lists Monitors consider that the ga-abuse should
    be non cross-posted (technical meaning of non cross-posting)
    with other GA lists, I would be grateful you decide it formaly 
    and announce this formal decision to the DNSO.
    Then the Secretariat will set up filters.

    Regards,
    Elisabeth Porteneuve
