What you seem to want appears to have little to do with making the email address private. That would involve not showing it to anyone and I'm pretty sure neither Google nor Yahoo keeps your email address private. It simply displays it in a form that is harder to harvest (ie. requiring a Captcha before showing you the address). Like I said earlier, if you want this fixed I highly recommend you start by contacting the respective websites (github and bitbucket) instead of asking the people hosting the mirrors to change it. They're not in charge of the web interface and I really doubt anyone is going to in and retroactively change usernames in the entire repo (and completely break everything for anyone that has clones from those repos). -- Cosmin Stejerean http://offbytwo.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
