When it came right down to it, this fellow was somewhat less than entirely
specific regarding the nature and intent of his research:

That's not to say that his intent was anything other than honorable. I just
think that it is incumbant upon anyone doing research like this to be quite
clear and specific regarding the methods and goals.
P.S. As long as we are still talking about it (and given that this episode
makes it quite apparent that list admins may get their hackles raised by
any sort of automated subscribes/unsubscribes) allow me to pose the question
to the entire readership of this list: If someone sent you an E-mail (in
your capacity as list managers) asking for a list of, for example, the
envelope sender addresses used in outgoing traffic on/with your lists,
would you send that info back, or would you balk?
