Hi!
First, I must take responsibility for that mistake, I read your email, set
that (again) as a high priority issue for this cycle, and actually went to
edit that specific comment to remove your email address... and then I got
sidetracked.
I was hit with the idea that editing another person's post was not a good
idea, so I thought of contacting that user to ask him to remove the address
himself; then I noticed you'd said he'd already try to do so and couldn't,
and so I started to look at what could have prevented the change...
Days passed, I didn't find the root cause, and replying to you and mailing
the other user got submerged in the back log of things tagged as "really
important".
About the whole issue, it's something we've been debating at large since the
problem was found, it doesn't have an easy technical solution apart from
separating the mailing list and the forum, and we would rather not have to
resort to that. A change in the information page has the problem of
sustainability with site updates, but it's being looked into as an option.
As a summary, please accept my apologies for not being responsive with you
and this issue, I've just wrote the other user now requesting that he deletes
that line or gives me any feedback about the problem if that's not possible,
and will be looking at the root cause with renewed forces.
Also, as Sir Grant said, the developer meeting could find a small space for a
discussion about this.
