Look what cat drug in...
I just got a piece of junk mail from a headhunter (Dear Professional;...)
Nothing new, right?  This one admitted that "We noted with interest that
you had attended the recent USENIX Winter Conference..."  At least they
admitted it.

I think the list of conferees with their names and addresses is a
great idea.  I DON'T want junk mail from employment agencies.  If you
want to put up a recruiting note at a USENIX, fine.  But as long as I
have a means here to express my dissatisfaction, I want it to be known
that I look with bad feelings toward companies that badger me by
abusing a valuable resource.

I wouldn't want a future list of conferees to not have addresses just
because some losers bother some of the good folks on the list with junk
mail.  Don't call us, we'll call you.
