I'll cast my vote as deny. Kinda sounds like buy and sell organs. Seen

I would have to say no as well. It sounds as if they are trying to offer a

service and probably not a legal one at that.

When someone applies, Yahoo asks them to provide a brief note saying

why they want to join the list. I approve most applications. MOst

people say that either they or a friend/family member has cirrhosis

or some other liver problem, so it's a no-brainer. The few obvious

spammers who apply get quickly sent off to bug someone else.

I got an application the other day and I'm strongly inclined to

reject it. But I thought I'd consult the rest of the group and see if

this person's message might be of interest to the group, before I

reject it based on my own beliefs/prejudices. The message states, " To

Whome it may concern. We are able to organise liver & kidney for

transplant from overseas. "

Two questions:

Do you prefer that I approve or deny this membership request?

If I approve it, would you want me to give the potential member

restrictions like, " No commercial solicitations to the list. " , etc.?

If so, what specific restrictions do you recommend.

I can approve a member and put him/her on moderation. But I feel that

divides our membership into two classes, and I prefer not to do that

unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks.
