Re: Blue Sheet Change Proposal

Isn't the Ark of the Covenant also there?

In the interest of adding some actual content as well, I'll remark  
that I really don't much care whether addresses are collected or not.   
For my own part, I'm with the others who've observed that trying to  
hide your address as a counter-spam measure is about as effective as  
sticking your fingers in your ears and saying la-la-la.  And for that  
matter, those who think otherwise can easily use a disposable email  
address if they wish (surely they must have one if they care about  
such things) or even falsify or omit their email address (horrors!).
