Subject: Drawbacks of being on the list

3. *****
 Q: Are there any drawbacks of being on the authors' address list?

 A: Frankly, yes. There are the same dangers as being on any public
address list. Besides the desirable contacts you might get unwanted
solicitations from vendors etc. That has been known to happen.
   Another natural drawback is that you should remember to send in
an updated entry if your information changes. Again this is as with
any address list. Having and old and / or invalid address on a
public list can be a disadvantage to the author's image.
