While I appreciate your motives for doing this Patrick, I think in
general this kind of mass-spamming is not a good idea. A general
enquiry to TEI-L woiuld reach exactly the saqme people and would not
risk offending people who don't like to be targetted in this
unsolicited way.I think people may well be inhibited from keeping the
web site up to date with their projects details if they think we are
making their email addresses available in this kind of way. Maybe I'm
just unduly sensitive to this because of the quantity of spam I get
myself. Would you mind asking other members of the Council their views
on the topic before continuing this exercise?
