- Subject: The public nature of garbo.uwasa.fi questions and answers
-
- I feel it advisable to inform the gentle garbo.uwasa.fi users of the
- following matter concerning privacy / publicity. I get very much
- email concerning garbo.uwasa.fi files and problems and UseNet news.
- As an FTP archive site moderator I have to answer countless
- questions and views from the users practically every day. Quite
- often these questions or views are of general interest or
- applicability, and I often make selected questions and my answers
- public in the /pc/pd2/post*.txt information files, and sometimes
- even on the UseNet news. The same goes for useful user feedback on
- the programs on garbo.
-
- This means that unless clearly stated otherwise by the sender (at
- the very beginning of the message, please), or very obvious from the
- context or the contents, I consider all email, all text in the
- upload announcements, and all file uploads publicly available and
- publicly publishable material.
-
- The reason is that we get so much uploads, announcements, questions
- and views, that if we conversed back and forth with each and
- everyone about their material and messages, we would be totally
- swamped because we already are stretched as we are. I have to
- organize matters in a rational way to be able to perform the
- moderator's functions, and making public the interesting questions
- from users and the answers to their queries is part of this.
-
- All the best, Timo
