Oh for godsake people... this list seems to have an issue with 
sensationalism!!!

Someone has alleged that NZLUG (not AuckLUG) publishes peoples email 
addresses online.

This is correct. View the NZLUG archives here:

http://www.linux.net.nz/lists/NZLUG/2006/11/

The reason for this is that the NZLUG web archive pre-dates the Mailman 
installation, and the old archive indexes peoples email addresses when 
they post, as a component of the web archive only.  (Its always been this 
way; its historical. And i'm sure its something Nic Bellamy (as NZLUG 
Admin and host) is fully aware of.)


Auckland LUG does NOT.

Heres this months web archive as case in point:

The AuckLUG Website is http://auckland.linux.net.nz and as you can see its 
just a flat html page with some published info about how to find the List, 
its archive, and some other related web addresses. THATS IT.


Can we get a grip please?  Before we spread more FUD how bout some _facts_ 
backed up with _evidence_ gets presented.

Cheers
Mark.
Speaking for himself - though I did help form AuckLUG in the beginning, 
and I do help administer the NZLUG Mailing list. And host the AuckLUG 
Website, such as it is.
