Well, 'eres my opinion, not that you asked for it. Since anyone can get onto this list, without supplying seperate credentials as to honesty and integrity, I classify this as any other Internet mail list - like having a shouting conversation across a crowded room, where there are people you know, people you don't know, and people that aren't immediately visible. How many people would shout across a crowded restaurant "Hey, Bob! I'm in Seattle all next week, I should return on Friday! Here's my home address if you need to know where I won't be." ? Yet people do this, all the time, on the Internet, using these autoresponders to respond to an email list. I guess, to make a long story short, the issue is between the person gone and the shadowy people we don't see, the ones without honesty and integrity (not that all lurkers are thieves!!), and by announcing all the info you can find out about such a person in that same public forum it makes it easier for the weaker thieves to get involved. Ug. I think I need more coffee. - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
