[tei-council] Important Addendum: Re: 'TEI: Frequently Asked Questions' international (fwd)

[David Sewell]

Council,

Hmm. After sending that request I noticed that I had included Alyona's phone 
number and worried about letting that get onto a publicly archived list. But a 
quick googling of her name + number suggests that we might not want to honor the 
request, which is called a "scam" in this thread:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.documentation.tldp/2440

(third message).

FWIW, in her email to us she claimed her native language is Ukrainian, in the 
one to LDP she said Belorussian...

Thumbs down?
