listserv pages should mention the listservs AND the web server logs and=20=

mention the listservs. It is easier to administer a single policy that=20=

discloses all your practices in one policy. However, if you want to=20
make it clear that you don't collect PII anywhere except on the=20
listserv pages than you will want to have two policies.
