I don't know how many of us members know that our personal
details and email addresses used to communicate with this
mailing list are now made public through mail-archive.com's Website.

I for one cannot remember ever allowing this use of my details,
nor of any posts I'd decide to send to this list, and would
appreciate it if the list owners would give me directions on how
I can delete my posts to this list from the archives, and avoid
having them stored there in future.

Thank you,

marina

If this is true, I will be immediately unsubscribing.

As you say, Marina, a comment from the list manager would be  
appropriate.

Here in Oz we have particular privacy/anti-spam laws against this sort  
of thing. I'd be surprised if other countries do not have similar  
legislation.

Marina,

I can't find where they disclose anything other than the information  
we send out to a lot of people which each of these posts.  I'm not  
sure it's the case with this list, but it seems that most lists have  
an archive which is accessible to pretty much anyone.  So I guess  
it's not a good idea to attach your dental records to a posting on  
the list, but don't see anything to be really alarmed about.

Hi Marina,

I checked this out and it appears that the each message only shows the name of the writer, not his/her email address and it seems that all email addresses are protected with the term "----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Roethel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. even when the address is contained in the signature block.  The only email address shown is that of the [hidden email] so I am not sure that this compromises our personal details although I guess that if one googled the individual names contained in each message, it might come up with more personal information.

Have you been able to find out more details that those above?

Cheers

Roger

Hi Roger,

Thank you for checking. I think what you are referring to is the
official archive for this list.

However I have found there are other Websites that disclose a
lot more than I would like. See for example
<http://www.mail-archive.com/fmpro-l@.../msg04580.html>.
This is the page that alerted me to privacy issues.

As you can see, the button at the bottom of the page brings up
my full email address. And the message includes my signature,
which contains my address.

Of course I would never think of including sensitive information
in an email message. But I consider any use of my email messages
that has not been explicitly authorised as a breach of my rights
to privacy and confidentiality. For this reason, I would like
the owners of this list to delete all my messages from the
publicly searchable and accessible archives.

Hi Marina,

Thank you for the information.  Indeed, I now see what you mean.  I  
would request that this be taken up by the administrator of this with  
the hosting service to what can be done about hiding personal  
information in the archives.

Anyone else on this list have any comments?

Cheers

Roger

Yes! A colleague who does a google newswatch on our company name picks up my
messages from time to time. So I must remember not to say anything bad about
my employer (not that I would want to...)!

Otherwise I'm happy for the rest of the planet to share the fruits of my
wisdom.

That's an archive for this list.  This is a Dartmouth list.  It's  
there as a reference for people trying to find solutions to filemaker  
problems.  Generally, when you sign up for a list you are advised as  
to whether or not there is an archive and, if you object to whatever  
the practice may be, you have the right to NOT participate.  I don't  
recall it specifically - it's been some years - but I'd wager that  
such a notice was part of the signup process for this list.

So, your position is that when you send information to a thousand  
people, it is within your rights to require that they keep the  
information secret, although they neither requested your information  
nor agreed to the security measures you seem to desire?  I don't  
think so.  Granted, you might have an issue if they made some use of  
your information or changed the format of its presentation by, say,  
pasting it onto a billboard along a highway, but if the only act is  
to archive it you are protesting the act of remembering what you said.

If you send your information to a bunch of people, you demonstrate  
that you place no value on your right to privacy so far as that  
information is concerned.  It's like running naked through a crowd  
and expecting no-one to comment.  And for you to expect the owners of  
this list to exert control over a list or web site that they do not  
own strikes me as unreasonable, in the least, and certainly implausible.

May the conditions have been whatever, in my opinion it is NOT the  
CONTENTS of the posts, it's the posters EMAIL address that never  
should be unveiled in an archive for at least two good reasons:.
- it is not related or required to the problem or solution of the post
- it is by far made too easy for email harvesters to collect them.

Maybe it's time to think about registering with FileMaker's TechNet  
for a few bucks, where posts are NOT freely accessible to the whole  
world - left alone the higher quality and other advantages.

Marina,

Since the official list archive has taken steps to protect the sender's email address, in accordance with Dartmouth's Privacy Policy, I believe the archive maintained by "mail-archive.com" violates that policy and would be frowned upon by Dartmouth's General Counsel.

According to the mail-archive FAQ's, anyone can subscribe a mailing list to their service.  Also, the mailing list administrator (Dartmouth) can request to have messages deleted from the mail-archive, but the individual posters cannot make this request.  Furthermore, Dartmouth can request that the deletion of the entire archive, which I think Dartmouth should do.

I suggest you contact Dartmouth's General Counsel about this matter.  Here is their contact information:

Office of the General Counsel
Dartmouth College
14 South Main Street
Suite 2C
Hanover, New Hampshire 03755
Telephone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

mailto://[hidden email]

Regards,
Jason L DeLooze

[Marina Tadiello]

Thank you Jason. This was my understanding of "mail-archive.com"'s
terms, and I appreciate your help with finding Dartmouth's contact
details.

Many thanks also for the suggestions and advice I received from other
members of this list.

Have a good day,

marina
