Note: On this email The "From" does reveal Guy's email address. And again by clicking "Respond to all", it appears in the "To" block: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Guy Ramsey [[log in to unmask]] Where I work, we have some 14 year olds who know how to fix this. Individual email addresses should not be revealed in the "To" and "From" all should just go via TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]].

I don't think much of the idea. Our company is a member. But, I am not. I have participated over the years from my home computer, as a non-member. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Glidden, Kevin Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 10:28 AM To: [log in to unmask] 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?
