[FOSS4G2016] IRC Chat Today

[Arnulf Christl (FOSS4G)]

Codrina,
excuse me if my comment seemed directed at you. I was just trying to say
that the mail itself looked paranoid and uninformed. You are perfectly
right to make this list aware, so please don't get me wrong.

And in many aspects the concern is perfectly valid. In German lay
sending unsolicited mass Email communication is to people requires to
request for the consent *prior* to sending the content.

Sigh.

We can always claim that we have their mail address from the Web but
once the machinery is rolling it is always a pain.

Not sure what to do. We'll find a solution.

Cheers,
Arnulf
