In addition to that, when it comes to placing addresses used on these lists out of spambots reach, it's absolutely useless. I say this not against Kristofer, but as a general reference for everybody. Earlier today, Kristofer had replied to me as follows: >> M.

There would be a need allright, instead. Check out the Gmane archive: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/53764 Even if Kristofer were able to make OpenOffice.org remove his address, it will remain two weeks on Gmane in a format extremely recognizable by any spambot. Surely the same thing happened with his first post to this list. He didn't find it later on Gmane only because he checked after the article had been expired from there, after spambots had had two weeks to harvest it. Sorry if I didn't remember immediately that this is what happens.
