I just hacked up the list archive gateway (www.cold.org/info/lists) so it
will mask any email addresses. This is to reduce the likelyhood of
The address showing up in search engines and thus being a target for
Junk E-Mail. Those who have expressed trepidation about showing up on
archives because of this reason can be a little less concerned. If you
need the real address which has been masked, you can email me at
brandon@cold.org and I can try to get it for you.
Also.. there have been a few people who have their own archiving software
for these lists. I would prefer this didn't happen because I don't know
if this archiving software will mask addresses or not. If you need a
digest of older posts, I can provide them (I have them back to when
ColdMUD started).
