Hey Santosh:

You need not to be sentimental about the spammers advice I gave regarding your group email address on Goanet. Simply put -- if I can get hold of those group email addresses you published, anybody else could and possibly misuse them. Can you say for certain there are no subscribed snoopers on a public forum like this one? This is one of the most likely ways that people can get hold of group email addresses.

Santosh, please stop attacking people who give good advice, which in your case I would say take it or leave it.

Goanet on the other hand was prudent enough to cover up your mistake through a system that weeds out all cced e-addresses. I just wanted to point out to Santosh (and others) that ccing on a public forum is not a good idea. But then, Santosh was simply lobbying for support, and I can understand that.

I know you like to apply a sense of logic and science to all other things, how did that sense not prevail this time? ;)

The above statement is false. I am doing no disservice
to anybody. I am not "publicly publishing a group of
email addresses". Spammers cannot get hold of email
addresses on my cc list, unless these spammers have
specifically subscribed to Goanet.

Joe’s response:
And how do you know that there are NO subscribed spammers who are snooping around on this forum?

Santosh writes:
The public archives of Goanet do not show the email
addresses on the cc list.

Joe’s response:
Santosh, you are missing my point again. The public achieves of Goanet will not show the group e-address you published via your email, because Goanet was wise enough to cover up mistakes such as yours and discarded your cced group of email addresses. Had it not, your post would have appeared “as is” i.e. along with all your group e-address in your email cc line.

Access to these addresses through Joe Vaz’s response to
My post because Joe made it a point to specifically
Copy and paste those addresses in his response to my
post, presumably because he wanted to somehow get back
at me.

Joe’s response:
Santosh you are again using a twisted form of logic. Why can you not see it in a positive light? It was to show you (and others who might do the same) that group ccing is not prudent, besides you had already published those email addresses anyway. So what's your point? You now want to blame me for it?

Hope you can appreciate that (although I know you will not admit it anyway).
