http://archives.gentoo.org/stats Chris, That's my doing.. How would you prefer that the email addresses be obscured? btw there are tons of other places where it's archived plain/text.. But if you have a preferred method of obscuring then just yell. I/we can't omit all of the domain.. So we have to use some sorta separator. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- [email protected] mailing list
