In reply to: Nick 's message, "Re: email addresses" on 25/02/05 1:08:40

Nick, as the original activist for suppressed e-mail data I have already (circa. 2-3 months ago) agreed publicly on this forum that we should re-introduce visible e-mail addresses on message postings.

I have changed my stance since discovering that VoyForums makes no validity check on the submitted e-mail addresses, which gives anyone the same freedom as on user/newsgroups to submit fictitious addresses, providing something feasible is entered into the required message-header field.

The original problem was not from automated collectors but an obviously manual trawl by one of the Nigerian 419 scammers - those guys give me the creeps even if it is easy to trash their absurd solicitations.

I propose that, in the absence of any fresh postings in opposition, that you re-activate the visible e-mail addresses.

Regards, Brian
(N.B. My e-mail address is NOT nadia@nada.net as shown in the message header)
