And which "powers that be" would you be referring to? What do you propose they do about it? Frankly, there's not a darn thing the mailing list adminstrators can do - anybody is welcome to subscribe to the list or to archive the list. Even spammers can subscribe to the list and simply use it to obtain e-mail addresses. Bottom line is that you're responsible for controlling your incoming mail. You can't expect somebody else to control who can get a hold of your e-mail address. It would be nice, but it just isn't going to happen. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
