(Puts body armor on to prevent head from being bitten off) :-) Not sure whether I can do this here or at the meeting. As always I encourage discussion as there is nothing personal here nor should anyone ever take anything I write as a personal attack. I assure you my heart just isn't in that place. I would like to put forth a motion with regard to way the content of the list archives are handled. Right now the archives are open to every bot and search engine out there. I would like to see that changed in a way that would asure that only a list registered human was reading the information. As a community I believe we want to enable people to feel comfortable posting here. This is a human community and in a human community mistakes happen. Most human mistakes are forgiven and forgotten in the real world. Digital mistakes however take on a life of their own and almost never go away. Many forums & lists these days are taking steps to prevent sites like google from just accessing this information with ease. For example I block google at my firewall from indexing my site. Like I've mentioned before I feel we should be more concerned about the big data corporations harvesting information about us for profit than Schlocko the uberleet script kiddie from Futardistan. Your comments are always welcome. -------------------------------------------------- Brian Vagnoni PGP Digital Fingerprint F076 6EEE 06E5 BEEF EBBD BD36 F29E 850D FC32 3955 -------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
