Took me a couple of minutes to understand what it is :) I was testing http://www.zoominfo.com/ that is supposed to collect info about someone online in one space (was wondering how much on me is there - re: http://blog.mathemagenic.com/2005/09/14.html#a1667). Between other things it has a feature that allows you to send email to the person you are searching for without disclosing it. I was wondering what email it had in the system for me and send a message to myself - and it got posted to AOIR :( So, as everyone could see now, it assumes that I have two emails one of which is air-l@aoir.org Tools like this one obviousely add a very specific spin to all discussions we may have on privacy and ethics....

I can see your email address, thus it is disclosed. what is this about rss? i think you'll find the email to rss experience to be problematic. the communicative assumptions of the two media systems are different in that email is a push, vs rss/web is a pull.
