[JSS-Announce] list policy

[Jan de Leeuw]

jss-announce is a moderated list. To defer the costs of producing the  
journal
I have decided to let through, on a case by case basis, emails by the  
major
publishers in which they announce special discounts on their  
statistics list,
new publications, etc. I don't expect this to happen often, only a few  
times
per year. The publishers are expected, again on a case-by-case basis, to
make a tax-deductible donation to UCLA Statistics, which we will use  
towards
the costs of publishing and maintaining the journal (currently about $  
25K
per year in staff, computing support, and development  time, not  
counting
any of the volunteer hours). I will moderate the posts and make sure  
they
are pertinent to statistical software and computation.

Note that I am not selling the subscriber list, which remains  
inaccessible,
even to subscribers.

Of course if you don't agree with the policy you can unsubscribe at
