I don't think this really makes sense. For instance, in the poll, 76% of the people opposed use as a general purpose address, but 92% supported putting it on one's personal homepage. I'm really curious what those people were thinking, since that seems an outright contradiction.I'd interpret it as "I don't think it's a good idea to use it for everything, but I don't see a real problem with doing it sometimes", because that way it makes sense. That is, it's discouraged, but nobody really cares.
I interpret differently: General advertising (like posting on personal webpage - together with other email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses) is fine, but general *usage* is not ok. I understood the poll as a tool to figure out what would be relevant for a General Resolution - or a help for our Project Leader to make a judgement (if it is in his power to judge in this matter). It seems for a possible GR it should be made clear what is meant by "putting on one's personal homepage". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
