Well, it that is hiding, then not posting your phone number as part
of your signature is hiding as well. Personally, I just ignore most
personal email from the list, unless something that catches my
interest, or it is a slow day. The exception if people I have
indicated that I welcome private messages from. Tim takes a more
direct approach by indicating in he email address that he will
ignore messages to the address he uses for posting to the list. I
have considered it, but a kill filter works for my needs.

Hiding you phone number reminds me of a story. The husband of our
secretary died suddenly on the basketball court. So of course the
authorities wanted to notify her. But her phone number was unlisted. We
tried to think who would know her phone number. The departmewnt head
knew her the number,but his number was unlisted.
Through this experience I have a prejudice against people who hide from
others how to reach them. I think the chances that any would want to
contact Tim for nephareous purposes very small and if they did they can
be screened as you point out.
