I do it purposely. Go read: http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/ and read through the (flash) bits. Now consider "are email addresses information which can be used to identify individuals?" The answer is "yes". Are we storing that in a kind of database? Yes. Therefore, does this fall under the terms of the Data Protection Act? Yes. Therefore I myself do not want to store peoples email addresses BK, thereby avoiding this issue entirely. > I don't care to know who it is but would the offending system please be > updated or fixed?
