Not exactly. We may be killing somebody's project/employment chances. I repeat, periodic commercial postings should be eliminated. Not all.. If I post asking for people to join my company, I am not going to do that every month.. > not exactly. there shd be limits to it - and the footer ofr the list is > already growing too huge. no sense in adding to it I agree. What about a single link that points to a page which contains this information along with essentials like subscribe/unsubscribe information?

I worded it wrongly. By option of disclosing e-mail id I meant, disclosing email-id on web archives. If somebody reads my post on LI* archives, it shouldn't reveal him my address unless I wish so. List admin maintaining email id is always fine. That's done whenever you reply to list mail. BTW, is there any command in majordomo etc. which gives you all addresses subscribed to lists? If yes it should be restricted too..
