People, 
 
We have been advised by some pretty intelligent people that it is against  
the law to post that number on Wikipedia. It does not take a genius-level IQ to  
realize that posting it in emails, whether as the header or in the body, is 
no  less problematic. 
 
So ... it would be really nice if someone would purge those emails  
containing the number. As for the people posting it--Yes, it can be fun to be a  
virtual martyr for "the cause," but the fact is that if push comes to shove, the  
Foundation, not you, could be found liable. Rather than imagining that won't  
happen, imagine the consequences if it does.
