[...] You are right: Name-calling was uncalled for, and I apologise to Aman for that. However, in my opinion, it is completely fair to put such abusers of mailing lists on a hall of shame. People should be responsible for their own actions: In this case lazily exposing all one's addresses to spammers like LinkedIn. Raj has already made the case for this eloquently, so I will not add to that. Just a note: The email addresses are obfuscated from automated harvesters by adding a NOSPAM tag, though the original poster had no qualms about enabling spam on this list. Also, as noted, people can go edit the Wiki page.
