Phil,
you may not have noticed, but the world has changed a little since 1997, and so has the Finale list. It has moved to a new listserver application, email addresses are no longer accesible in the archives, and the archives are members only. There are good reasons for all this, that weren't there in 1997.

I have absolutely no complaints about copyright issues, although I can understand others for being concerned. However, I am very concerned about making email addresses available to the public. The spam on two email addresses I had once subscribed to the Finale list became almost anbearable until the emaila addresses were finally stripped from the archives. After that the spam slowly died down again.

I really don't want this to happen again, especially as general spam has increased a lot anyway.

I have already taken some precaution by using a dedicated email address only for mailing lists and the like, but anything that will make it more difficult to harvest that address is desirable, and vice versa. OpenSubscribers is publicising my email address, even though there is absolutely no reason to do so.

Johannes
