A concern about that would be that someone who wishes to send unsolicited mass e-mail could get access to the newsfeed, then extract e-mail addresses from it. This wouldn't bother me much, because I'm already "subscribed" to Cyberpromo's list. I remember from the last time this was discussed that others were bothered a lot by this possibility, and demanded their addresses be altered so spammers couldn't use them. Those on the other side said this would make it difficult to reply, yadda yadda yadda. ___ Trevor Johnson <trevor@jpj.net>
