Years ago I ran across what was said to be a Hebrew proverb, "Do what you do
only out of love". Would anyone on Humanist know where the original saying
might be found?
Thanks.

Subject: Commercial mailings
I mananage a number of lists, and have been noticing what might be
called "blanket subscription requests". Since all the lists I manage
require owner approval for new subscriptions, and since five of these
lists originate from one node, it is easy to spot them for me.
I'm not even sure this is the right forum to raise this issue; but in
the event that it is, has anyone else who manages listserv lists noticed
this phenomenon? My suspicion is that this is a way of getting together
a lengthy mailing list of individual subscribers, so that these
subscribers can be blanketed with commercial messages. Like buying a
mailing list, except in this case it is free.
