Hi Gary,
Others might proove me incorrect, as is often the case, but I believe
there is nothing stopping anyone from the "outside" world from reading
messages posted to this list - see
http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/wolves/ ... I'm guessing that it's
not being spidered by search engines however as I can't find anything in
google about any of the topics mentioned so far in the list... so it is
likely that someone "leaked" your address to a news paper. And there's
not much stopping a reporter from reading everything you've posted so
far.....
Regardless of the ethics of leaking your address, I would point out that
if you'd bothered to write a 10 line html file as an index to the site,
with a note that the real travelwm site is "here" you would not have had
any problems.
You've yet to explain/give a valid reason for the domain, and
considering travelwm is plastered on busses / papers etc, and is almost
a house hold name in the area, it's unlikely that you would have much
chance.
