Hi, I do not think that is the point.
How about if I add you to a mailing list? Or say 100 mailing list? You removed our choice.

Anyway, the mailing list is indexed by google, so your email is already referenced by google. Search for a part of a message you wrote, for example "but this part of DNS is still some kind" (use double quotes in google search to do an exact search) and you get it (http://www.google.fr/search?num=100&hl=fr&rls=GGLC%2CGGLC%3A1970-01%2CGGLC% 3Afr&q=%22but+this+part+of+DNS+is+still+some+kind%22). You can aslo search for your email, either "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "erv at sympatico.ca" and you find some references. You are well known on the internet. I'm sure you already receive a lot of spam as I do (hundreds of messages each single day). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Montréal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] ICS and MidWare Frappr group > Francois PIETTE wrote: > >>I added custom pins to the Frappr ICS and MidWare group >>(http://www.frappr.com/icsandmidware).
