Re: [PSES] Public view of this email server?

[Doug Powell]

I have watched this conversation for a few days and now I am beginning to wonder what is all the angst about.   I have been a member of the forum since about 1995 and the publically searchable archive is something I have used since the beginning. I find it very useful and have never assumed any level of privacy is expressed or implied. It is up to the individuals who make use of the forum to monitor their own privacy.  Spam is generally not a problem but has occurred on occasion. In those cases a gentle reminder followed by a reprimand from the admins has been enough. In many ways this forum is patterned after the old BBSs or news groups (i.e. dejanews, yahoo groups) all of which were / are searchable.  Best, Doug --  Douglas E Powell doug...@gmail.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougp01  From: d...@mac.com Sent: November 22, 2016 2:26 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Reply-to: d...@mac.com Subject: Re: [PSES] Public view of this email server?
