Yeah, I call it stealing, impersonation and ad gouging.
Why do they not only have to replicate the email list in its entirety but go out of their way to use my email address in order to create a false account in their "service" --an account I can't delete or disable?
And all the while running GoogleAds on every single frigging page?
Impersonation is illegal in the United States, but how to deal with something like that with a company that is looking for the added attention and traffic to begin with?
BTW : At no point here at Drupal was it stated anywhere on the mailing lists that they would be completely open for anybody to do whatever they want with the content ALONG WITH our email addresses.
It would have been nice to know 2 years ago that this was the case with Drupal's mailing lists. Could a disclaimer be set on the footer of all future emails and on all mailing lists?

And why are the Drupal Mailing lists on it?
Nabble is a list/forum aggregator. I assume that Drupal is on it because the drupal mailing lists are public, and there's nothing to stop them from including it (much the same way that Google archives all public web pages).
It's also possible that someone in the Drupal community knows someone at Nabble, or even works for Nabble.
Is there a problem?
