It is bad form - the addresses can only be harvested by belonging to the actual list itself. You could expel people from the list, if you could find them, but it would be simple enough for them to reregister using fake details, so I don't think there's much point.
Perhaps the list could be configured so that the real from addresses of people aren't displayed, like the web archives do? Certainly means I won't be using them though!

Eg: --------------- Dear XXXX, The purpose of this email is to introduce you to Lucid Imagination, a new company that was launched on Jan 26, 2009. Lucid provides commercial support for the Lucen/Solr deployments at companies like: AOL, Apple, Comcast Interactive Media, and Zappos. --------------- This is the only list I subscribe to with my work address, so I'm guessing they harvested it from here somehow? Anyone else get these? Atleast they have an auto-unsub option....
