the actions mentioned below mean we have to make linux il's web site pretend to endorse some service, and we then need to spam people? can you describe what are the _mandatory_ actions from the list you posted? according to their web site, these are all mandatory. lets see: > here it is... > http://download.linkedin.com/corporate/product/groups/group_services_agreement.pdf > > The only thing I see as an issue is the next clause... > > REQUIRED LAUNCH AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES > > This section describes the activities we expect your group to perform > in exchange for the free service offered.

(the above appears at sectoin 1 of their agreement that you (who is you? you personally? the entire group) must "i agree" to. there's some mention about giving e-mail addresses of the members, but this is written in a softened manner ("should you want to, you have the right to give the addresses". thus, declare to never want to - and you comply with their requirements). i say - hmmmmm.... -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
