FreeLists / va-bird / [va-bird] How does VA-Bird function?

["BMcGovern" <bmcgovern@xxxxxxx>]

       I know this list serve has sponsors who pay the bills, but do they get 
access to our email addresses?    I thought this listserve protected the email 
addresses of the contributors (those who post to the site), but my son found 
our postings copied to a commercial site (surfbirds.com)--with many of our mail 
addresses included.
  Between Aug 3rd and Aug 8th, I found some 18 of our email addresses (the 
complete addresses) on surfbirds.com, including:
    - ict_earth
    - Phoebetria
    - Kestrel923
    - Dendroica
    - SteveYoung (at least twice)
    - dwbwmwcw
    - mboater
    - CarolHardy
    - voice
    - Phil Kenny (at least twice)
    - twoquinns
    - dhewitt
    - leighfern
    - blkvulture

  Is there some way we can protect ourselves?
  Bill
