It was his responsibility to use an email address that was basically a throw away one and he should have couched it in terms that didn't matter if it ended up in the public forum. If anybody emails me direct about a samba matter, it will very probably end up here, because I will reply only to the list, especially if it is in the middle of a thread. I will decide if I want to reply direct to anybody that emails me, I suspect that is what Achim decided. Rowland

not only that, but on most lists it's considered rude to go off-list unless the message is of a private nature, in which discretion should certainly be used when bringing it back on list. ones email address itself is not considered private after subscribing to a public list.

I do get many mails that go to me personally, and not also to the list. To these, I kindly ask that they re-ask the question on the list, so others can benefit from the reply. This ensures I don't accidental breach privacy. Most posters realise their error and politely apologise.
