Subject: [BbshopWebGuild] Publishing Chorus Roster on Password Protected Web Site

I am webmaster at the Paradise Valley Chapter at
www.cactuschordsmen.com. We have a password protected page that links
to our calling tree (both in Adobe Acrobat and MS WORD files), and our
weekly bulletin. I am using Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Encrypted
Password script gotten at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/password.htm. A member
suggested that I also put the chapter roster, which any SPEBSQSA
member can get for any chapter, on that password protected page.

My fear is that some robot will examine every page that it can harvest
for text that looks like email addresses, and use it for SPAM. I ran a
program called Webreaper that recreates a site that can be looked at
off-line. It was not able to find (or re-create) the password
protected page nor any of the files that page links to. Do you think
it is dangerous, in poor taste, or ethically incorrect to publish the
roster on the password protected page?

Chord-ially,
