This is very uncool. Marc

You are posting to a public mailing list. Your messages are public. Your email address is also public. If you do not want messages you send to people on the Internet to be public, do not post them.

I think there is a difference between the publlishing of my email address in a mailing list or being published on a web page. marc

I've never had an e-mail address collected from a mailing list. I have had e-mail addresses collected from web sites. E-mail spiders run all the time. I'd say there's a _very_ big difference.
On usenet, I can use a fake e-mail address. On my web site, I can use hidden e-mail addresses. On this mailing list, I don't have such an option - if the e-mail address isn't real, I don't get postings. I want the posting; I don't want the spam!

The email does have to be "real", but it is possible to post from one address (set up not to receive any messages) and read the mailing list using a different address. You could even block email going to your posting address, though this would be annoying if someone wanted to respond privately to you.

You could setup an email address for Mailing list use only. And filter out all emails which aren't sent to the mailing list. Then you can just sign the messages you send with an extra note of who to reply to privately. I personally try to use my spam mail instead of personal or business when I sign up for lists like these. They're all real addresses, the only differences is that the personal one is an in expendable one because I've had it so long. If the spam mail one starts causing to many issues it's possible for me to drop it because all my addresses are aliases, I have around 16 possible addresses 3 in use.
