Prof. L. P. Levine
of technology on privacy or vice versa. The digest is moderated
and gatewayed into the moderated USENET newsgroup comp.society.privacy.
Submissions should be sent to comp-p...@uwm.edu and administrative
requests to comp-priva...@uwm.edu.
This digest is a forum with information contributed via Internet
eMail. Those who understand the technology also understand the
ease of forgery in this very free medium. Statements, therefore,
should be taken with a ton of salt and it should be clear that the
actual contributor might not be the person whose email address is
posted as the author. Any user who openly wishes to post anonymously
should inform the moderator at the beginning of the posting. He
will comply.
To subscribe, or to unsubscribe, send an appropriate single line
message to the moderator at comp-priva...@uwm.edu . Since
the group is manually controlled, nearly any reasonable message
can be handled.
If you read this from the comp.society.privacy newsgroup and wish
to contribute a message, you should simply post your contribution.
As a moderated newsgroup, attempts to post to the group are normally
turned into eMail to the submission address above.
On the other hand, if you read the digest eMailed to you, you
generally need only use the Reply feature of your mailer to
contribute. If you do so, it is best to modify the "Subject:" line
of your mailing to correctly indicate the subject of your posting
and to trim away all inappropriate material from your posting.
Contributions to CPD should be submitted, with appropriate,
substantive SUBJECT: line. The contributions must be relevant,
sound, in good taste, objective, cogent, coherent, concise, and
nonrepetitious. Diversity is welcome, but not personal attacks.
Do not include entire previous messages in responses to them. Most
posters include their name & legitimate Internet From: address.
All contributions are considered as personal comments; usual
disclaimers apply. All reuse of CPD material should respect stated
copyright notices, and should cite the sources explicitly; as a
courtesy, publications using CPD material should obtain permission
from the contributors.
Contributions generally are acknowledged within 24 hours of
submission. If selected, they are printed within two or three
days.
The moderator reserves the right to delete extraneous quoted
material. He may change the SUBJECT: line of an article in order
to make it easier for the reader to follow a discussion. He will
not, however, alter or edit the text of normal contributed material
except for purely technical or typographical reasons. He will not
correct the spelling, as that is often an indication of the intent
and/or education level of the author. In the case of long
announcements of future meetings he will remove detailed parts of
the announcement, intending to leaving enough so that an interested
person can get the message and, hopefully, can find the rest.
A library of back issues is available on ftp.cs.uwm.edu [129.89.9.18].
Web browsers will find it at http://www.uwm.edu/org/comp-privacy/
People with only gopher capability can most easily access the
library at gopher.cs.uwm.edu.
Ftp users should Login as "ftp" with password identifying
yourid@yoursite. The archives are in the directory "pub/comp-privacy".
