O, thank you! This is a great great utility for spammers!

A wise postmaster --clearly not the case of Sarasvati-- would have set all
subscribers to "hidden", before enabling this command.

Probably, by now, all our addresses have already been harvested and archived
by all sellers of virility extenders, TV cables descramblers, home working
schemes, hoaxes, etc.

So now they won't need to post to the Unicode list to reach us.

The next thing to do for all of us is to close our Internet mail accounts
and open new ones.

The easiest way to do this for people like me, who imprudently subscribed
their business or academic addresses, is to resign from their job or
university.

The only good thing is that also employer can now bypass the (absurd)
prohibition of sending recruitment postings -- so we'll have an opportunity
of finding another job.

Oh, by the way, and you can bypass any other prohibition. So, people who
need to post GIFs or lengthy quotes now know how to do it: just download the
list and paste it in your "To" field.

Brilliant move, Sarasvati.
