Lars' point might be that contribution to the lists should be public, and that you should also be able to contact the author of a post. That makes sense to me anyway, and in that sense I think it is the way it should be. Obfuscating the e-mail addresses in the list archives might be an alternative, but I suspect spam harvesters wouldn't have too much problem with decoding the addresses if they really tried. > I'm suprised nobody is upset about this!?! I feel kind of resigned, i.e. I accept the spam because of the need for being open. I am more annoyed with the spammers who add advertisment links to the wiki. Speaking of spam, I've just gotten two spams that went straight through my otherwise excellent spam filter. In this case the e-mail contained very little text and an attached GIF-image (abt 10kb) (to be honest, I never opened the image since I from the title assumed it'd be spam, and that the image would contain the actual advertisment). regards Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
