&gt; Writing as list owner:
&gt; 
&gt;   This came up before, as well as the concern with spammers skimming the
&gt; pages for email addresses.  To this end all email addresses on the web
&gt; pages in the message headers, bodies and signatures, will be munged. 
&gt; Currently I munge them simply: translating the at-sign ("@") to a hash
&gt; ("#").  I can easily go further and translate periods to commas, or even
&gt; the at-sign to the string " at ", or use random selection from a number of
&gt; patterns.

I like the random selection idea.  I get far too much spam-email as it is,
and I only posted one message on one newsgroup about a year ago, w/o
mangling my email address.  Oy.
 
&gt;   The form of the munging is (will be) clearly stated on the web pages.
&gt; 
&gt;   The membership list is hidden by the list server (both the current
&gt; steward and the upcoming Petidomo).  Sure, you could (easily) brute fource
&gt; the archives -- but you'd get the actively posting members only, and not
&gt; the many lurkers.  Problem?  Perhaps.  

Just a side note... is there a way for us list members to see who all is
on the list?  I have no real reason... just mild curiosity about who all
has been reading my ramblings.
