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.
