This was NOT a public list when I joined it. Only subscribers could read any message on it. As far as I'm concerned there was a contractual obligation that it should stay that way. I have repeatedly stated that I do NOT want any of my messages reposted anywhere with the email address included. What these scum are doing is just plain theft. It is hardly a "useful service" if it makes it practically impossible for anyone to post to the list. (I will be migrating to a new mail provider over the next few months; no way in hell am I continuing my subscription to this list from the new address, given this sort of exposure). > It appears that the web pages are obfuscated at the HTML level using > "@" instead of "@". That will slow down some address-harvesters. Given the sort of tricks spammers are already using to get at addresses, the idea that that would provide any protection at all in the long run isn't even a joke. A mailing list archive is such a high-value target for a spam harvester that they'll write special utilities to scan it once they know of its existence. =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
