one doesn't even need to be subscribed to a list to get all the mail addresses. since all mails are archived and accessible from the web, a simple mail spider is sufficient.
for this reason, i never use my private mail address for public postings of this kind. and as soon as i have my own mail server, i'll put it under a strict spam filter. ok, i fortunately don't get much spam for now, but you never know. -- Yves Goergen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please don't CC me (causes double mails) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: "Thomas Andersson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gesendet: Samstag, 23.
