Neato, it's news to me that perl4lib is archived in google groups. You should probably know it is in the mail-archive [1] as well, which is mentioned on the perl4lib homepage. You would do best to direct your concerns to Ask Bjørn Hansen (ask at develooper dot com) about the boilerplate since that is under his control. My perspective on this is that listservs, usenet and blogs are converging, and I don't tend to alter my delivery when using them. If you are concerned about personal information getting out there I think you are best served by removing the information from your signature. Of course this doesn't help you with the information that's already out there...unless you take drastic action like moving and changing your name :-) At least Google does you the favor of obscuring your email address, which is nice from a spam standpoint, and is more than archives like web4lib/xml4lib do for you. //Ed [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/perl4lib%40perl.org/ -- Ed Summers aim: inkdroid skype: inkdroid web: http://www.inkdroid.org Give and ye shall receive.
