Several people have recently attributed messages that they have received from the sa_scat listserver to me personally ("I saw your message"). I want to make it clear that my role as moderator of the listserver is merely to forward messages that I receive from other people. Such forwarding does not imply any recommendation or endorsement on my part or that of NIST, whose equipment hosts the listserver. I will generally make it very clear when a message represents some activity that I am organizing or playing a role in, just as I would expect anyone else who posts to the listserver to do. A while back I asked the system operators on the host system to change to a moderated mode of operation so that our subscribers could be spared messages that were not proper. Things like auto-replies from other servers or misaddressed subscribe/unsubscribe messages form the bulk of such traffic. I find such traffic annoying, so I try to spare other people that same annoyance. In rare instances I will edit a message to improve its grammar or clarity, but I do not edit the intent of the sender as long as I determine that the message is appropriate to the purposes of the listserver. -- Dr. John D.
