These are just the same questions asked again, hoping for a different
answer.  The answer is the same:  The intent was and is a public list,
keep it public.  Those who want privacy need to handle it themselves,
because it is the only real way to do it, and we have never offered
it as a promise.

I agree with Andrew's suggestion to use a pseudonym if that helps.
Nothing saying you have to use your real name or email here.
