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.).
