Because of this very sentence, I have tested the Who command, and
guess what? On Fri, 23 Mar 2001 08:45:18 -0500 (EST), Listar
<listar@unicode.org> happily sent me a list of 686 subscribers
to the Unicode list.

Now I am a subscriber myself, and the Who command may well be re-
stricted to subscribers. But even this restriction would not be
safe, as the recently detected spamming technique shows.

So, it would be a good idea to disable the Who command for the
Unicode list.

Best wishes,
