No, this employer seems quite sane :) However, irc connections are as "real" as a kernel changelog message to a lot of people. > This _isn't_ an email address, and doesn't really need to be treated > as such. Ok, then why display it as one? Seriously, it doesn't really bother me, just added it as I thought others would need it. I know the "shortlog" program can pick the real names out of the Signed-off-by: lines. But I'll wait for Russell to wake up and start quoting the proper EU privacy laws that he feels causes him to be forced to obfuscate his email addresses in the changelog commits (as he did for the bk ones.) thanks, greg k-h
