Dear Mike--
Thanks a lot for all your great work on xmca.
I have a question for you, since you are thinking on improving the xmca
infrastructure. Is it possible that our email addresses are not shown on
publicly available archive and on the xmca website? The reason I'm asking
about that is that I'm about to change my email address because I'm
receiving about hundred spam emails per day. Knowledgeable people told me
that spammers can receive email addresses from searching Internet and
picking up published addresses. So, it will be nice if there won't be our
email addresses on publicly available xmca sites or the addressed are masked
from automatic searches (like, for example, ematusov_AT_udel.edu). Is
possible?
What do you think?
Eugene
