Privacy Was: Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] Mailing list security

Just a suggestion... but since there is a privacy policy for the mailing 
list then perhaps this should be documented somewhere, specifically mention 
that the list has only one purpose and that the emails will never be passed 
on/sold etc and that harvesting email addresses from anything related to 
the list is not allowed. In the unlikely event the association goes 
bankrupt and some accountant has the good idea to sell the list.

I'd suggest http://melbourne.wireless.org.au/wiki/?MailingLists as a good 
place to put it as this is where the link from the main page points anyway.

IANAL but without something explicitly stating that the list is private 
then someone could claim the perl bug was a "feature" and use it to 
(arguably) legitimately harvest email addresses. I understand we are a 
public group open to all but as an association we may need to claim 
ownership of some of the information in our possession to prevent people 
from abusing it. By this I mean personal information about people, not 
technical information.
