told.

> EDRESPONSE: I don't know specifically how Livry (or whoever) got your
and the other addresses but it is very easily done. Any subscriber to any
list can get the names and addresses of all list subscribers with a simple
command. The matter here is a bit more mysterious since I know of one person
who got the "Korovkin" message who is NOT on the NABOKV-L list.

Oddly, neither NABOKV-L nor I have gotten Mr. Korovkin's message. Nor have I
opened relayed copies.

possibly dangerous.
