And Yahoo and Google Groups are quite explicit, when you sign up for
them, that the archives are either public or private. This list is
*not*, and it should be.
The OP *explicitly* included his/her full postal address and two (cell &
home) telephone numbers as *part of the text* of his/her message. I
contend that if you do that you have no right to complain that any
"social contract" has been broken.
Respectfully, I disagree. While I agree that the original mistake was
Aricka's, as a recent list subscriber, I understand *exactly* how she
made it, even if it was made from incorrect assumptions.
The difference here is one of perspective. I'm trying to make sure
that what she did (in all innocence) doesn't come back to bite someone
else on the ass.
Perhaps a notice to that effect could be included in the email that has
to be replied to for the subscription to become effective.
That's neat.
