It is a very good idea, however, you have to absolutely trust the 
people you give out the extension to.  The first time they send out one 
of those dumb _forward this to as many people as you can_ type emails 
then the cat is out of the bag.  You could then delete the extension 
and inform them not to do it again and give them a new one.  This, 
however, only applies if you actually see that they have made such a 
blunder.  :-)
