Thankyou JoyceŠ

You have me intrigued me now of course, and I wonder as you have been 
so explicit in your summary above whether I could enquire as to the 
purpose of the GSBN list? Is it perhaps a "traditional" 
media/government pressure/action group ? I wonder how an 
intentionally small number of members is beneficial in this regard?

The obvious benefit to TLS would be editorial resource development 
but what are the "benefits" to participants, access to knowledge 
denied to those on the REPP or SB-R-US lists?


Or have I asked too many questions for my own good already?
