Hi James, Thanks for that information. That is where my problem could arise then as I am talking about the UK Guide Dogs list.

Remember that this list is on Freelists. The only thing is that they stipulate that any list set up on their site must be about "technology". In practice this seems to be quite a broad brief and looking at some of the other lists that have been set up on freelists.org, it would seem to be applied fairly flexibly, and might be more of a mechanism to avoid people creating frivolous lists on a whim.
