Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi all, Does anyone contact people directly to their email address from the SCD message group? Someone sent me a direct email about peacanbread posts and asked about a recipes. Says he's a father of a 4 yr old from Macedonia (email shows from pani pani) whose name is supposedly Goran. Can dishonest people get your email address from the group? And do they? I figured they would post something on the message group before they contact you directly. Makes me uncomfortable and my husband very aggitated. What do you guys think about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yes, people do contact others directly who participate on this list. Most people offer to be contacted, or the individual asks to contact them before doing so. He is a member of the group, however, and has posted here a couple of times. He is fairly new to the list.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I would not worry about the people who contact you directly. They do not actually have your address and they will not have your address unless you reply. So if you're uncomfortable with it, just post your answer to the list and don't reply to their individual email. They contact you by clicking on the send email button if they read at the group site online. I do not know how they do it if they get our messages by email because I'm not signed up that way. The feeling I get is that lots of people have contacted Goran directly. I have read his posts here and on Vitamin K and he refers to things people have told him that I never saw on either list. So I think he's just doing what others have done. I have contacted people directly when I thought my question was not of interest to the listmembers in general. People have also contacted me. Everyone I have contacted and everyone who has contacted me has been very nice. I hope I haven't irritated anyone and don't know about it. , mom to > > Hi all, > > Does anyone contact people directly to their email address from the > SCD message group?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 and Meleah, This is the first time it happened and he asked about recipes and I don't have any. So, I would have thought he realized I was new and don't have any by my posts on here. That is what concerned me. I guess it's okay.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I always use a web-based email addy for the web (not my sbcglobal name). It's up to the individual. I can send you an invite to gmail (it has labels and lots of space) so I like it. There's also yahoo and hotmail.com that have free email accounts.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 , What do you mean they don't actually have your address? Aren't I looking at your address right now?

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi Bonita, I have contacted people offlist sometimes and preface it with " I hope you don't mind me writing you offlist... " . Others have contacted me offlist with the same sentiment. Occasionally I will write onlist that I will be contacting them offlist. If it is an urgent matter I don't. Goran joined the list about a week before you and has a 4 yr old son with autism. He may not be familiar with netiquette. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/message/67272 Some parents do chat offlist if they have similar issues, live near each other, etc.. There are lots of options with the internet- you can ignore his email, reply to it, tell him you prefer to respond onlist only etc... The idea of subscribing to the list with a free email account is a good idea.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 , I think you are just seeing the julie46250@... and you don't see the rest of the address.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah, I think it's ok. Could be a mistake and maybe he meant to post to the group. , mom to I would have thought he realized I was new and don't have any by my posts on here. That is what concerned me. I guess it's okay.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 julie46250; You are incorrect. Each post has the email address in the header at the least. For instance, the people posting in this thread: julie46250@... bftodd@... rmcorner@... RobRose@... sheilat@... etc. If you are concerned about privacy you should create a throw away email account that lacks identifying information. I don't use the web interface as it is pathetically clunky. If you receive individual emails they can be categorized, filter and stored locally. Then you can search the *entire* group archives locally instead of being brutalized through the yahoo search facility. - Will wrote: > , > I think you are just seeing the julie46250@... > and you don't see the rest of the address. > I imagine someone could make a good guess about how to finish it, but > there are a lot of different ways it might end. > > > >> >> > > > > For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: > http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info > and > http://www.pecanbread.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 More details... When I first open your e-mail, your entire address is shown in the " From " box. When I hit reply, the entire address moves below just prior to the words " wrote " . When the message appears in my inbox the abbreviated addy is shown prior to the " wrote " and then my complete address appears on the " From " box. Is this different for others? - julie46250 wrote: , I think you are just seeing the julie46250@... and you don't see the rest of the address.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 There are two diffferent ways to read the posts on Pecanbread: the web format and emails to your mailbox. The web format hides the emails addresses but the emails addresses do appear on the emails inside your mailbox. Mimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I don't see the addresses in the " for instance " Will posted, and Mimi has explained why. This is not an issue for me. I just want to apologize and correct what I told Bonita. But I still don't think she should worry about Goran. , mom to > For instance, the people posting in this thread: > > julie46250@... > bftodd@... > rmcorner@... > RobRose@... > sheilat@... > etc. > > If you are concerned about privacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
