[Air-l] Just testing... - Sorry and a nice case on privacy

[Lilia Efimova]

Took me a couple of minutes to understand what it is :)

I was testing http://www.zoominfo.com/ that is supposed to collect
info about someone online in one space (was wondering how much on me
is there - re: http://blog.mathemagenic.com/2005/09/14.html#a1667).

Between other things it has a feature that allows you to send email to
the person you are searching for without disclosing it. I was
wondering what email it had in the system for me and send a message to
myself - and it got posted to AOIR :(

So, as everyone could see now, it assumes that I have two emails one
of which is air-l at aoir.org

Tools like this one obviousely add a very specific spin to all
discussions we may have on privacy and ethics....
