RE: [BAWUG] BAWUG email addresses being published on Web

The real problem is you're asking the network for protection when you 
should really be protecting yourself. To relate this issue to wireless 
networks, we've all seen the ongoing problems with firewalls, NAT, WEP, 
WPA, 802.1X and all other network level 'protective' technologies which 
make it possible to put and keep insecure systems online but have 
completely broken the notion of a public internet.

Please reconsider what you're asking, request like this weaken the 
internet for all of us. The focus on 'trusted networks' or 'trusted 
computing' instead of secure applications and protocols allows spam, 
viruses and spyware to spread like wildfire once it gets past those 
network layer defenses. You're seemingly innocent request to have your 
identity obscured would reduce the amount of information available to 
us on the archives, while providing little real protection.

Best,
Alf

Yes.  Like that or the way mail-archive does it:

The real problem is that pipermail is no longer maintained and 
although its
widely used there is no motivation for anyone to fix the problem.
