I got something new this week: I received emails from advertising-bounce () rootwars org. The context was that I was sort of a member of their mailing list. Don't know how that happened. Anyone else? Sorry about O.T.! Marc

Yes, it is the web archives that are not sanitizing personal emails which the email harvestors love. My conspiring thought for the day is that the web archivers are actually Spammers (or very sympathetic to their needs).
Which brings me to another point. Since these lists are PUBLIC, I love reading the idiotic disclaimers at the end of everyones email. You realize your employer could hold you accountable for public disclosure of your posts on to the web?? (Example, 'hi today we are seeing all kinds of attacks on our network', hacker reads this on neohapsis for example, and starts adding to the attack, or confirms his attack is working...)
Try using a throw away account, and eliminate stupid corporate disclaimers, as well protect yourself against spam. (I could get into a tirade about posting messages like my example above, but like this one, it will be greatly ignored I'm sure)
Maybe I should package this and sell it, any takers?

James.
