Hey, I hope Kendall and Anne won't feel picked on about this one, but I
just saw the post on the weblog re: the membership report from Anne
(yea! 223 members!) and I don't think we should include new members'
e-mail addresses in the weblog in that manner. I think it was
appropriate for the admin list, but not for a weblog, where spam bots
could collect their e-mails. So I think we should make it a policy not
to list them that way. What do you think, Kendall? I bet you just wanted
to share Anne's news with all and sundry, but this problem occurred to
me when I saw the post.
If we do decide to include them, then I think we should modify them (put
them in the form name AT server.com rather than name at server.com) so that
they are not automatically detected by e-mail harvesters.).
