I have recieved internet access through being a part of their pilot program
(Together.Net), a project to get local community non-profit organizations
connected to one another via the internet. thanks for being suspicious,
though...

I had thought that this was the precise problem the original poster
had an issue with, me posting such lists. I was meaning to address it.

I did this merely by using another's header
as my source for addresses for my list.
This person had originally requested from all the lists
a source of music to buy/trade from. I responded to this request hitting
the reply button, and did not think it would be a problem to send such a
posting to the other lists. it seems i was wrong- from now on i will only
post to those lists im subscribed to (though this all makes me curious about
the original poster asking for sources of music...)
