Message-ID: <12298.195.99.94.1.1080045578.squirrel@webmail.xs4all.nl> From: xsemail at xs4all.nl (xsemail@...all.nl) Subject: viruses being sent to this list Mike, That's a good point you raise there. The only way to protect yourself from this isto be carefull where you post you e-mail address and even as to who you give your e-mail address. I have difrent aliases for mailing groups, another address I use on forums another one I give to co-workers and critical contancts and yet another one I give to friends. Every now and then I notice a to high increase in spam or virusses to be received on one of my aliases and I change it and notify any people that I really want to stay in touch with, or update the proper profiles. I am faulty however, I have made a few human errors. Using a good search engine and the proper queries you could find my hometown and first name just with my e-mail address, not so good when you think of it. But alsong as one is aware of what is publicly available. Still this isn't an ideal solution. I still want to be reachable and aslong as I'm plugged to the net I will receive virusses and spam, that's just the nature of choosing connectivity over security. (A choose one makes by even connecting to the net imo, but that's open for debate). My 2ct.

What makes you think that your email wasn't found on one of the resting places for this mailing list? You name appears over three hundred times according to google.com when searching for "full disclosure". http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=ge%40egotistical.reprehensible.net%3E+%22full+disclosure%22&btnG=Google+Search You weren't targetted, just unlucky. There is not much the mods can do. Want them to request that your email addresses be removed from all search engines and private mailing lists around?
