I have also noticed that many of the responses come from #1 Rated
"Year's Coolest Guy" By Self. A little humility might be in order.
Humbleness DOES normally come with age sometimes, but one would assume
that with your advanced years that you might look at things differently.
That being said, while I'm sure Dan believes he's the "Year's Coolest
Guy", there are some out there who think otherwise. To each their own
as is their right. We DO live in a democracy with the right of free
thought and speech, as a journalist should well know. Perhaps during
your editorial years you missed editing all the privacy laws and such
concerning public domain. From the news reports *I* keep seeing, the
use of "public" sources and gathering of "public" information seems more
about how much the "public" can be stretched for the raping of
information to tweak the story to their own designs instead of going
after the whole truth. Gotta love one-sided reporting... But I digress...
I done nothing wrong, but I've
created something that is useful and stimulating to those who Actually
Matter[TM].
Just to remind everyone what this useful and stimulating exercise was
for, in your own words, it was 'For bragging rights, to keep track of
how much time you've spent doing "community service" or whatever else.'
By publishing everyone's email address, you screwed up, but don't have
the decency to admit it. And at no time have I stooped to calling you
names.
Following the posts, I do believe Dan is going to mangle the email
addresses. Heck, he can omit them to just the "name" of the poster if
he wants, won't bother me but then I don't have an á or é in my name
that's still getting fudged...
But that is all besides the point. YOU posted to the list, thereby
doing so with an email address which you have PUBLICLY posted. That you
are not happy with the list coming out means that you failed to pay
attention to this list for the last couple of weeks when 1) Dan's script
blew up and 2) last week when Richard wasn't even showing on the list.
My suggestion would be to increase your spam blocking mechanism(s) such
as Thunderbird's spam learning feature or your ISP's filtering or even
running your email through your own Linux server and using clamAV and
SpamAssassin to clean your email before popping it off to your local
machine.
Either way, your problem was your own making. Now, you could apologize
to the list and Dan for blowing things out of proportion, which would
show some humility, but you're pretty much the only one here complaining
about your email address being posted by some one else after you have
already done so.
