Mail Archives

[SoulEata]

I participated in the mailing group for a short while, but I didn't realize those archives were going to be posted on the site. Is there anyway I can have my name and e-mail address removed from those?

why?

[SoulEata]

because that's information I don't want showing up in google searches?

[nobby]

why?

[SoulEata]

because what I do on my own time is nobody's business?

I don't get it. Your email address is public in this forum as well, what makes it different from the mailing list archives?

[nobby]

is anyone likely to care?

It's good manners and common sense to obscure or remove email addresses from headers in archived mailing lists, so I agree with the OP on principle. However it's more difficult to remove email addresses in quoted or body text, and this often relies on email clients not inserting the address of the sender when someone replies. It's not impossible however.

Some people go to a lot of effort to ensure their email addresses are not harvestable and I think it would be better form to at least consider such a view (which is, I suspect, a majority view anyway) rather than dismiss it as irrelevant.

The mail archives do obscure the email address, but admittedly in a pretty lame way.

The email is, in fact, hidden. Probably your moderator status makes it visible to you.

Aaaaaaah, that's probably it.
