Mr. "Harry A'Hole" here, posting from his anonymous community network account, just made my original point perfectly. I'd like to see the list leaders chime in at this point? Can we please get some sort of screening process set up for who can be on these lists? All I want is for some responsible person to look at requests to join the list and verify that the person making the request has any business being here. If you want to allow all .edu domains by default and only deal with others, fine. I'd really like to have the list archives closed or sanitized as well. I don't see how we can carry on productive, professional conversations in this venue with the amount of noise that is in this system currently. -- Ron Parker, Director of Information Technology, Brazosport College

A group list by definition will send your message to everyone on the list, and the list doesn't require people to pass a security test in order to join. One odd bit is that educase does send the email from your email, display as A00JER2 () WPO CSO NIU EDU, and educase probably should avoid leaking that.

Apparently, by becoming a member of Educause I exposed my contact info to this union who has been spamming me to boycott the hotels. I called Educause to complain and they apologized (as they have to many others who called) and removed me from their public directory. I have not hadthis problemby becoming a member of other professional orgs. IMO,Educause needs todo a better job of protecting its members. --- Jason Richardson Manager, IT Security and Client Development Enterprise Systems Support Northern Illinois University Voice: 815-753-1678 Fax: 815-753-2555 jasrich () niu edu
