"Everyone"? You seem to think that the visible addresses had something to
do with the membership of this mailing list.
Oh good grief. You know exactly what was meant, you're just acting
childish.
That's a quite silly claim - and quite wrong, of course. What you said
suggested that you thought the publicised addresses had something to do with
the list.
I also 'misunderstood' the meaning. it is indeed very difficult to
read minds.
this was compounded in my case also by the question about setting
email clients to bcc; it suggested a poster who was naive about the
medium they are working in - email client vs mailing list or
something.
anyway, we got all of this straight now. time to move on, right?
I do note a lot of people seem unfamiliar with bcc; this kind of error
happens alot.
F.
Another reply to your message said "PLEASE keep the list secure",
implying its author had interpreted your message similarly. No doubt others
did, too. (Advertising other addresses on the list is bad practice and uses
the list inappropriately, but does not represent an insecurity of the list
itself.)
I'd meant to ask that in the list of the mail client I use. Simply got
carried away and forgot that I was still in the AOo list.
Perhaps it's not surprising that I (and others) were confused, then!
