This is a good issue for discussion.  As a former member of CPAKayaker, I saw
many items, sensitive in nature and aimed by a writer at a group with whom he
or she sought to communicate, disseminated later on the CPA net.  In one case,
I responded to an originator of a PaddleWise post because the issue he wrote
about was of great significance --- Paul Hollerbach's excellent story on the
storm on the Hudson --- and asked if I could post it to the CPA net.  He asked
that I wait for him to rewrite it a little --- and I waited, sent on his
corrected copy to CPAKayaker, only to find that someone, without his
permission, had sent on a copy of the PaddleWise original to the CPA group, as
well, without his knowledge.

I don't know what the accepted protocol on something like this is, but I would
like to believe that I could send a post to a list in which I choose to
participate without having to be concerned that the post might be sent to
another totally separate group without my knowledge or permission.  I don't
know the specifics on this issue, but it seems to have caught Julio's
attention.  There are certainly people who subscribe to both lists, but
PaddleWise has earned a distinction in the way it is run and in the
individuals who contribute to it.  It may be naive on my part to expect that
authorship should be respected in these days of e-mail proliferation, but I do
think that a contributor should have the right to expect that his or her posts
stay within a list, and not be rebroadcast without specific permission.  Would
like to hear Jackie's cut on this for PaddleWise.
