(Complaint Received)

[Steve Hume]

I think the xtensionlist is in pretty good compliance.

If you look at the raw source of the messages your mail client receives;
1) shed.com mailer adds info on how to unsubscribe to each message so 
this condition is met.
2) The messages are never false and misleading but  the subject 
headings are not controlled. Michael monitors the list and does police 
any true offenses. We can vouch for him or let the list archives speak 
for themselves.
3) Your physical address was visible to me in the message headers of 
your post and likely my address is inside this message at least at an 
IP address level. If they mean mailing (US postal) address as a 
requirement to send an email then that will likely be a problem for a 
lot of e-businesses. iTunes weekly newsletter has no street address in 
it for instance.

The bigger worry is X10 gets put out of business which will have a 
direct impact on XTension:-)
