Thanks for the link, I will include your sentence in the Rules of Conduct
for the "Conifer Obsession" Discussion Groups.
We only had one problem last year: The owner of the Gymnosperm database
posted some E-mail comments from a conifer expert from Kew Botanical Gardens
onto his website. I was shocked and asked him to remove it. He never did.
So, how can you really enforce it in a private group?
I am sure, you know, all our posts appear on the Internet as well. I am
always a bit reluctant to comment. Perhaps a screen-name is in order.
I was very upset, when I found two of the last posts about "Garden Web World"
making headlines on Google. See for yourself:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Garden+Web+World&btnG=Google+Search
scroll down to # 5 and #6. Barbara, your name shows up as well!
To be honest, I wish, our post would be private. I personally do not
appreciate the publicity.
This is the main reason for getting all this unwanted spam mail.
For instance, click on Barbaras post, scroll all the way to the bottom and
you will find in the left corner:
Reply via E-mail to
Barbara.
Click on Barbara and you have her E-mail address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So, all of your posts show up in the same matter with your E-mail address
hidden, however the Spamers know how to find those. I am sure each and every
one of you receive an uncontrollable amount of Spam Mail.
Perhaps our host would consider in closing this Spam loop-hole.
I am sure, more members would participate in the discussions as well.
Thanks and best regards
Siegrid Stern
