<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I recently subscribed to the International Grass GIS list. The
list looks very useful and I like the community. Yet, I'm reluctant to
post any messages because it appears that your archives are not
password protected. Taking that step would help protect user's email
addresses from the spam e-mail harvesters. I recently had to close my
old email account because I was receiving over fifty spams a
day.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Many companies and organizations password protect list archives
in an effort to protect user's email addresses from spammers. Here is
one example:</div>
<div>http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/cocoa-dev#Archives</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>By the way, I'm a Mac OS X software engineer learning Grass
GIS.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I got your email addresses by clicking on the<font
face="Lucida Grande" size="+1" color="#000000"> "In case of<u>
problems contact us</u>." on the following page:</font></div>
<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="+1"
color="#000000">http://grass.itc.it/support.html#int_list</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thank you for your consideration.</div>
<div>Chuck</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>P.S. I'm currently unable to access the list archives at:</div>
<div>http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/GRASS-List/</div>
<div>I assume that it's a temporary problem but, I thought that I
would mention it.</div>
