Subject: RE: [chairs] SPAM
Yes, I have also seen this. I'm also in the 80% spam to content bracket. In the past 6 months there has also been a rise in malicious attachements, scripts, and trackers (1 pixel referenced gifs, etc) in the spam. I favor the open-ness and access that OASIS provides. I do not think that human readable obsfucation of email addresses would impact this open-ness or access. So I'm in favor of at least obsfuction of the email addresses of persons participating in the TCs. =bill -----Original Message----- From: Cruikshank, David W [mailto:david.w.cruikshank@boeing.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 9:43 PM To: karl.best@oasis-open.org; Eve L.

When would someone respond privately rather than by sending a comment to the TC? -Karl Eve L.
