I too feel my email has been mined & distributed.

BUT . . . I also feel this is a minor inconvenience for the wealth of
knowledge obtained from this incomparable industry forum.

To all that contribute & share your knowledge & humor THANK YOU!!!

I totally agree. However, many smaller companies and individuals
(contractors, etc.) cannot always maintain membership to IPC. But I
think there should be a membership screening process to weed out those
undesirables. I do not think attempting to manage access by memberships
is practical.
Also, there are a large number of engineers who work for companies that
support the military, and we have a security concern with the forum
being able to be accessed by anyone.

Subject: [TN] membership limitations to Technet

While I highly value the all-inclusive nature of this forum, it is
perhaps an exploitable feature as well.  I continuously receive emails
from people offering services with whom I have had no previous
interactions, and I often assume (perhaps incorrectly?) that our contact
information and email addresses are being mined from the forum by those
who join simply to generate contact lists.  Would limiting Technet
membership to those from domains whose companies are IPC members, or
requiring entering of an IPC membership number to register destroy the
all-inclusive nature, or improve the quality?

Does anyone else share these observations?  Thoughts?
