Huh. I don't recall requesting the creation of debian-eeepc-devel at gmane. And if someone asked me on the list or on irc, I have no log of the conversation. That being said, if we have a consensus that it should be turned off, as the list administrator, I can presumably contact gmane to make changes, as per: http://gmane.org/faq.php I'm a list administrator, and I don't think you should archive my list. No problem. Just send a mail to Lars, and he'll remove the list. Well, we don't want the list removed, just a setting changed. This page gives details about address obfuscation. http://gmane.org/tmda.php So, let's discuss this, shall we? It seems like a reasonable request, given that: 1. If a particular user does want their address to still be obfuscated in gmane, they can make use of "X-Archive: encrypt". 2. Since our publicly-accessible mailman/pipermail archives only mildly obfuscate addresses in an easily crackable form (by using " at " instead of "@"), one could argue the addresses are already out there for harvesting anyway, so having the addresses obfuscated by gmane doesn't actually help very much. Any counter-arguments?
