Clarification:
I am not accusing Red Hat of violating their privacy policy. I was=20
simply stating that I happen to have received the email in question to an=
=20
email address which is used explicity for Linux related mailing lists,=20
therefore suggesting that the source of the email addresses were most=20
likely related to Red Hat mailing lists. I did *not* receive the email in=
=20
question at the email addresses that I have as part of my Red Hat customer=
=20
record, or my Red Hat certification record. After I posted my message,=20
another list participant confirmed that (at least) one of the Red Hat=20
mailing lists that I am on has public archives available, which presumably=
=20
does not have obfuscated or filtered email addresses.
