All posts are approved manually by a human editor.
By design, boston-lisp-announce posts are not publicly archived, and should not be forwarded or gatewayed to other lists, newsgroups, nor Web sites. One reason for keeping posts a little private is to not discourage posters who are afraid of spammers' email address harvesters. Another reason is that a startup might wish to locate local Lisp hackers without raising its profile more than necessary.
