  Subject: Should our email addresses be in the lis-medical archive?


  I get far more spam than colleagues. My email is in one other place on the web, but mainly in lis-medical (and other) archives, where the message and all its info are included. I'm not sure if it is technically possible, but am wondering if having an archive with messages and names but not email addresses would help?

  Do any of you find you get loads of spam (and more than colleagues) which might be due to this?

  (PS happy new year!)
