No sense giving spammers free access to a whole bunch of "fresh" email addresses. I know I disabled the who command when I hosted the baidarka mailing list at my site. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************

I don't believe that the membership of this forum should be kept secret. Howard kept the "who" command enabled on Wavelength, and I yet I haven't received more than one or two spams over the past year (other than those posted to the list itself). I hope that Jackie has a better motive than "spamophobia" for disabling this command. Let's keep this list out in the open. Sunshine and fresh air. What say you, Jackie?

In my opinion, it is very bad form to enable the "who" command. Which mailing lists I belong to is my private affair, and unless I choose to make myself visible (by sending a note to the mailing list) I ought to be able to lurk in peace and without worrying about abuses (spam and otherwise) facilitated by the "who" command. No mailing list that I have ever run supports this function. None ever will. ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************
