removal from web archive of mailing list??? please?


Hi, I must have posted a message on here without thinking about the consequences and i left my email address and phone number at the bottom of the message. This is very bad. I used to get no junk mail. Today I got my first. I realise now what a stupid stupid thing it was to do, i'm very very sorry, I'll never post to a mailinglist again without reading to the bottom of the page, promise. Is there any way you could remove the bit that says my email address. *anyone??? *please???

Ok, so how about putting this bit from your pages at the very top and stating clearly that everything you put in an email becomes public to the world, to spam you and harass you for the rest of eternity. (in big big flashing letters and then underlining the consequences). Well it was worth a try.

Archives

In addition to the web archives that are linked from the descriptions above, we also provide mbox formatted archives of each mailing list. The mbox formatted archives of the libstdc++ mailing lists are at present in a separate directory.

The web archives are searchable.


To complicate the harvesting of e-mail addresses from the web archives of the GCC mailing lists, some simple transformations are done on the e-mail addresses. It isn't perfect, but short of destructively modifying addresses or omitting addresses altogether, there isn't a whole lot we can do right now.
