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.
