[Summit] Summit Digest, Vol 118, Issue 13

[aw]

I would place a 'no' vote on the requirement.  As someone mentioned, any attempt would / could just lead to false data.  But, more importantly
then what?  if you know who this person is, what would that change.  
To add to the work of the volunteers for policing / administrating and end up with no different results doesn't seem worthwhile.~ amanda w.

 the thing is, that harmless people like me, most of us… ok, maybe all of us except one clearly angry, unstable individual might not want THAT person to have OUR addresses.

Hi John,  wouldn't it be possible to ask everyone to self identify giving street address?   In  fact the board must already  has that information for  most subscribers  because you hand deliver the newsletter.  Admittedly this  would be an honor system  but that to be seems  better than anonymity as it now operates. Elizabeth

1. What is your simple Yes/No vote on making this list no longer anonymous?


Hey everyone, list administrator here.  There are over 300 subscribers
to this list last time I checked.  Any process for verifying subscriber
identity would be a manual one and would require that the list become
closed (in the sense that one cannot simply subscribe).  I have little
doubt that the number of subscribers would drop precipitously in that
case.  I'm not sure who is willing to vet new subscribers, or what that
process might be, but it sure isn't going to be me.  Frankly, I don't
consider it practical or advisable, and I've said so privately to the
SNA board.

Also, though some of you consider this to be a forum only for neighbors,
there are other kinds of subscribers.  For instance, prospective and
elected officials, people shopping for housing, journalists, police
officers, expat neighbors.  Do we shut them all out?

John
