Weird. <aybe it's just an etxperiment to see if all these e-mail addresses are "real". The thing that worries me is that this might just be a prelude to massive loads of SPAM SPAM SPAM.
I haven't got such an e-mail, but if that user really wants to use the mail addresses from this list in any not-so-nice ways I suppose there is noone able to stop him one he has the address really.

I know that, and I don't have a problem with that, but would suggest the user not go about his enquiries in this way.

by contributing to this you're letting everyone know your email

Did anyone else receive an email recently with the subject ''Requesting to make comments for e-learning wiki''? I did, from

are not
supposed to randomly grab addresses from mailing lists they
subscribe
to?
