RE: [APML] [OT] Privacy issues with APML archives

Unfortunately there isn't anything that I know of that I
can do about it.  The subscription list itself is not publically
available but if you are going to post that info gets out there.
About all you can do is set up a public address that you
use just for posting to lists.

BTW - Yahoo is just about the last resource I would trust with
my email information.  They make money from selling that
information.
