mailing list paranoia

[N. Bertram]

Dearest Otto.. and all,

sorry, i probably forgot the irony tags in my posting ;) .. no.
honestly. i prefer _mailing lists_ not to be indexed with full mail
addresses and names and stuff. it's a privacy
issue for me. otherwise i'd post to USENET directly.
some things in there still make me cringe.. if only i knew they'd be
archived forever back then ;)

best,
nika
