MacPorts forum(s)?

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

I for one so no particular reason why anyone would need a list of all 
list members, whatever password protection or mangling you put into 
place. If you want to send someone a mail and not sure if they are are 
member, just cc them as well and let the system sort the rest out.

I would be very much against such a list being made available to anyone 
who wants it (just having a password for the MP site is not enough, that 
is basically anyone who wants it.).
