And the point is?

All that's requested is that people not quote e-mail addresses in replies.
If it's your own address, fair do's.  Go ahead.  Just don't make that
decision for other people.  This is not directed at you personally,
think of it as a public request.

| On September 1st 2003 the European Parliment will make a   |
