See my real e-mail? Yours?

So, our e-mail addresses are on the web for all to see, not protected like 
we thought by gmane.

Or is that site checking my e-mail address?

The member list is password protected, but here are all to see.

I saw this the other day, your message made me realize that there is a 
serious problem.
