Discussion Lists - For Public or Private Group Discussion
Discussion lists are intended to promote and encourage open discussion on specific topics. Discussion lists are classified as either Private or Public. Private discussion lists are recommended for groups and organizations where the communications are restricted to group members, and where privacy and security of the list transactions are desired. Public discussion lists are recommended for lists whose purpose is to promote broad discussion in a topic area with little or no control over membership or content. Such lists are often targets for unwanted junk email, known commonly as spam. Information describing the list will appear in on-line directories, allowing interested people worldwide to find, join, and send to the list. There are many examples of successful public discussion lists that support communities of people exchanging information and ideas about specific topics.
