I do not think we should provide email addresses for any individual member.
It serves no purpose since we can all be contacted through the nanfa list.
Sajjad - Thanks for taking this on. You may not get much response, but we
all appreciate it.
Aklo - Sorry for the delayed response - I have been gone for a week and
could not send emails effectively.

Subject: NANFA-- NANFA Email Archive suggestion
In order to protect email addresses on the NANFA email archive
from being harvested by spammers, it was suggested that we modify
the email addresses in the archive in a manner to make it
hard or impossible for spammers to get at them.
We need to get the opinion of NANFA mailing list members first.
Please send feedback on the following questions to both
sajjadlateef_at_yahoo.com and peter.unmack at asu.edu
(offlist messages, please - comments will be summarized
and presented on the list later)
1. Should we be protecting the email addresses from spammers?
Yes/No
2. If so, should be modify them so that they are still
understandable by humans?
i.e. sajjadlateef_at_yahoo.com becomes
2a. sajjadlateef fishy.fishy yahoo.com (easy)
2b. sajjadlateef fishy.fishy yahoo.ocm (harder, com -> ocm)
3. Make last part of email address un-understandable?
i.e. sajjadlateef_at_yahoo.com becomes
3a. sajjadlateef_at_......... or sajjadlateef_emailhidden
4. Remove the email address totally?
i.e. sajjadlateef_at_yahoo.com becomes
4a. _email_address_hidden_
A prompt response would be appreciated.
(A short 1 line message like: "Yes and I like option X"
or "No, don't bother." is sufficient. It's easier on us)
Thanks
Sajjad
