Why do you expect random strangers on a mailing list to give their email addresses to an unknown website that doesn't explain what it's going to do with them? For all I knew (or, for that matter, know) doing that signs me up for a spammer's mailing list that's impossible to get off of again. You may trust the people running that site, and you may even be right to do so, but I know nothing about them and have learned over the decades why trusting strangers I can't even see (such as the owners of a website) is generally not a good idea. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
