RE: NON Sumo: about "RichLink" Spamming

["Messer, Stephen" <SMesser@hiddenmind.com>]

I've never gotten any mail about RichLink, as far as I know, and I've been
on this list for many years.  I usually delete obvious spam without
reading it, though, so it's possible that I just deleted this.

However, something like this was bound to happen once our list archive was
taken and
put up on a public web server.  Once that was done, anyone with a web
scraper had access
to all of our email addresses and could add them to spam lists.

I was rather peeved at the time when I discovered the list archive was going
to be made 
public without our consent, and I changed my email address to avoid the
obvious spam
that was going to result from this.  I think one solution would be to make
the list archive
private so that only list members can access it.  We could publish the
password on the
list once every couple of weeks or so.
