    Hi Simon,

    Thank you for your message. I think that other seafood subscribers may
    have similar questions, so I'm posting my response to the entire list of
    850 people worldwide among 42 countries.

    Currently this listserv is setup to automatically accept messages from any
    e-mail address that is subscribed to the seafood listserv.

    Listservs can be formatted to screen incoming mail before posting.
    However this involves a person to review the messages. The UC Davis
    Seafood Technology Extension Program consists of two people, Dr. Robert
    Price and me. We have no other support staff. The person who would have
    to screen the incoming mail before posting it to a secondary listserv
    would be *me.* I'm not at work 24 hours a day, and sometimes I'm out of
    the office on official business for a week or more. For those of you who
    unfamiliar with our program...we don't have the time nor the resources to
    offer additional security to the listserv.

    If you prefer just to review the discussion, but not participate, there is
    a website with the archives for this listserv
    at: http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/listserv/listserv.htm

    As I have previously mentioned, here is the best advice that I can offer
    to anyone who uses e-mail (whether it be via the listserv, or just through
    personal communications):

    "The best and safest options for all listserv subscribers are to:

    1) install virus protection software and update it regularly.
    2) avoid opening unsolicited files with .exe extensions"

    Regards,

    Pamela Tom
