It begs the question, why not post his messages?

Re: Changing name of email sender for Calendar invites

invites come in with the same email address as the list,Those messages contain system generated hashtags such as #cal-invite, #cal-reminder, #cal-notice and in the most part, I would say, are generated by the system itself so it sort of makes sense that they have the <listname> identifier. If they have the right permissions, one member can put an event on the calendar and list someone else in the Organiser Name field in the event details. Which name would you expect to appear in those cases?? I can't say that I've ever noticed a problem with those names being cached. Do you have specific examples? Andy |

Re: Moderator Liability - Can An Angry Member Sue Us?
If you have some formal statement about proper behavior and content on the
group, and the objection behavior violates that, you would look even better. I've seen a few that effectively say the owner/moderators have the last say and if you don't like that, take it somewhere else. As long as it's clear, it can fly. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Moderator Liability - Can An Angry Member Sue Us?
My co-moderators and I have a member who threatens to sue if we?don't post his submissions. We wouldn't be vulnerable to any such suit would we? Of course these aren't important matters -- a bike lane. It's a neighborhood listserv:?Dupont Forum. (I did a search on the site and tried to read the TOS.)

Please consider sending important messages as a Special Notice instead.

An additional note on digests.? The one at 6 am may not get sent if there has been one sent to that person within the last 6 hours, so your 'special' message still wouldn't be the first for them when they get the next digest?
