[Xiph-Advocacy] Would giving out SOM email accounts be a good idea?

[Bjorn Wijers]

Ivo,

At the time that SOM was hosted on the other server it was possible to
do a forward. Is that what you're proposing?

Btw one could argue that by giving other people - not necessarily
involved with SOM - the address of spreadopenmedia.org it might make it
harder for interested parties to get into touch with those representing
SOM. Personally I would not be interested in this, but perhaps other
people might be especially if they only have 'free' email addresses?

Just my 2 cents,

grtz
