Hi Todd,
yes correct, I only took out the Author field from the message display and the
"name" field from the list view - however you seem to have spotted at least one
more place that I have not covered, so I'll probably spend some more time on
this.
I have _not_ cared about the raw view as - like you are rightfully stating -
basically any NNTP crawler could capture and archive the same if they wanted to.
If so desired, we can block access to the raw message display altogether (or,
again, for non-signed-in users only, which is probably the thing to do).
The NNTP service does not have authentication (and is not going to get it), so
if there are serious concerns about data being accessible by that way, we would
need to consider to finally close down the NNTP service. It is only rarely used
these days anyway as hardly anyone seems to remember there is such a thing as
"newsgroups" :)

Thanks for spotting - there may probably be some more instances that I've missed
- even after all these years I don't have quite as much of an overview of the
system as you would.
Thanks,
Jerry

| Update: The list Todd spotted has now also been cleared of the poster name display if visitor is not signed in. I have now disabled the link to the raw message for non-signed-in users as well. Hope that helps. Thanks, Jerry (9 years ago, 15-Dec-14, to lugnet.admin.general)
