Kivuva The harm is that Kictanet is a mailing list which you subscribe to hence you have given explicit permission to carry your emails. Unless there is fine print somewhere that says otherwise which I doubt. Yesterday during the Intermediary Liability breakfast some of these issues were alluded to. I think it is wrong for another medium to pick it up and display your personal email address in a forum that you didn't give it permission to do.

kictanet is an open forum, view-able by anybody in the planet who has the capacity, and all emails are accessible by everybody.
So where is the harm?

Could kindly clarify. Is this blog in the Business Daily of NMG?
Usually newspapers carry email addresses of authors as a sign of good faith. HOWEVER, you should have been informed that the paper intended to carry your comments for you to indicate if you were okay with that.

Dear listers,
A friend in Nairobi just emailed me this print article (attached) in the Biz Daily paper where my comments on the ETNO proposal last week are featured as the "blog of the week" and my personal email address included as the "title of the blog"
This is an outrageous abuse of this forum where the discussion is often open and insightful - do people now have to worry that their comments on Kictanet will be passed off as an article somewhere?
*vexed*
Ory I try to keep my emails short and to the point: http://emailcharter.org/
