Hmm... interesting point, food for thought. Though I think mob-mentality will always happen, with or without obscured email-addresses (exhibit A: the poor chap from KDN). I agree that verifying, and standing behind, one's identity is crucial. But how can this be achieved in a public mailing-list context?
I think its all about perceptions.
I'm curious: for those who don't actively participate on the list, what hinders them? (I'm assuming list membership implies interest in the topics being discussed).
IMHO, it varies from one individual to another. However the important thing to note is that the lists culture can either be encouraging or a complete putt-off. Regards, Michuki.
