Did anyone else receive an email recently with the subject ''Requesting to make comments for e-learning wiki''? I did, from a student in Thailand, and I found it rather rude. Surely people are not supposed to randomly grab addresses from mailing lists they subscribe to? -- Gary Kirk _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

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. On 13/02/07, Gary Kirk <gary.kirk(a)gmail.com> wrote:

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. On 2/13/07, NSLE (Wikipedia) <nsle.wikipedia(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Yes. I've just checked the list settings, and unless one of the other listmods has recently changed the settings, only list admins can see the subscribers. -- Alphax - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alphax Contributor to Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "We make the internet not suck" - Jimbo Wales Public key: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alphax/OpenPGP _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

I received it, but didn't find him to be particularly rude in his request. Ec
