Name Removal from your Web Site

[Mark Space]

On the other hand, he raises an interesting point.  Would it be possible 
to have the archive not record a person's email address publicly?  I 
personally loathe spam, and I'm sure most people are against UBE sent to 
email addresses harvested from the internet.  This could be a good 
feature for BSD software in general. 

Is anyone interested in investigating some code or configuration changes 
to make this happen?
