[kictanet] Abuse of KICTANET forum by Biz.Daily journalist

The harm is that Kictanet is a mailing list which you subscribe to hence you have given explicit permission to carry your emails. Unless there is fine print somewhere that says otherwise which I doubt. 

Yesterday during the Intermediary Liability breakfast some of these issues were alluded to. I think it is wrong for another medium to pick it up and display your personal email address in a forum that you didn't give it permission to do.
