whats not to understand ??

some people make an effort to remain anonymous on the web, and use different
personas to post to differerent lists, maintaining different email addresses
for different discussions and perhaps using differnet ISP's to seperate their
work, family, political and social lives.  This is completely different from
having closed archives.  Yes Iwant my comments to be archived.. No I do not
want my home phone number becoming linked or childs school becoming linked to
my comments.  Just because you have talked face 2 face in a private
conversation with Alan Dawson does not mean he wants that fact being placed in
the public domain.  

Have some sensitivity!!!
