I just checked their website and found out that they don't actually have the '@' symbol in our e-mail addresses, instead it's the word 'AT.' However, I don't know how much this can prevent web crawlers from finding them.
Like some of you have said, it would be fine with me if we actually knew that our e-mails were being posted on a public website before we signed onto the list serve and as long as the site was properly protected and it didn't have personal information.

I
can't
imagine
any
theory
under
which
Birding
on
the
Net
would
NOT
be
violating
copyright
law.
The
authors
own
the
copyright
to
emails
we
write
unless
we
explicitly
assign
them
to
others.
Posting
to
the
list
gives
the
list
the
right
to
print
our
emails,
but
it
doesn't
extend
that
permission
to
anyone
else.
The
fact
that
this
list
is
"public"
in
the
sense
that
many
people
read
it
is
not
relevant.
Material
I
post
to
my
blog
is
even
more
public
than
what
I
post
here,
but
I
still
own
it,
and
nobody
has
the
right
to
use
it
without
my
permission.
For
more
on
this,
check
the
Wikipedia
entry
on
"blog
scraping."
Although
this
practice
relates
to
the
use
of
blog
entries
without
permission,
what
Birding
on
the
Net
is
doing
is
basically
the
same.
Note
that
the
Wikipedia
states
in
no
uncertain
terms
that
it
is
illegal.

What's
more,
if
Birding
on
the
Net
is
putting
our
email
addresses
online
at
a
permanent
site,
it
is
exposing
all
of
us
to
a
giant
increase
in
the
amount
of
spam
we
receive.
Spammers
have
software
that
searches
the
Internet
for
expressions
that
contain
the
"@"
sign
in
order
to
find
addresses
to
send
spam
to.

That's
not
a
bad
idea.
We
could
certainly
include
a
line
about
the
lack
of
privacy
in
the
welcoming
message
that
goes
out
to
subscribers.
The
fact
is
that
NatureNS
is
a
public
list.
It's
not
moderated,
and
anyone
can
join.
As
administrator
I
can
deny
access
to
a
any
given
e-mail
address,
but
that's
a
last
resort
sort
of
thing,
which
fortunately
we
haven't
had
to
do
for
quite
a
while.
It's
unwise
to
post
anything
to
any
e-mail
list
that
you
wouldn't
want
the
world
to
read.
Cheers,
