AuckLUG displays my Email address on its website? Im sorry this is reason 
enough to be forced to discontiune use of this mail service. What a pitty. I 
wondered why I started to recieve spam for the first time ever after I 
joined this email list. Can some thing be done to retictify this. I think 
its very serious that it displays our emails on its website.
