Mike D. raised some other issues in a private email that showed how the mail-archive presented some serious risks to silverlist members. The Reply button on each page exposes the member's email address to outside persons not associated with the list. They would easily find the archives in a google search and could attack or harass members at will. You can easily tell Mike's first priority is protecting members from harm, and that directs much of his thinking and decision-making. Soon afterwards, Jeff at the mail-archives posted a short notice on the gossip forum stating that Mike's request to disable the reply button on posts has been implemented. This is a phenomenal response, both for the short time it took, and the minimum of discussion. Mike D. is a very persuasive person. So if the change works, and with a bit of luck, we may yet see some good news appear on this topic. Best Regards, Mike M. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
