>>What Michel could do, is to give the author an option to have his email address omitted from the file, so that no unwanted messages would start pouring in, and maybe another (he'll shoot me now for this) to pass the ownership of the file to another member, or even a group. Look at the move of Frx2wrd from single author into a collective effort - in a similar pattern, the dumped stuff may grow into big time stuff.

>That is an excellent suggestion. I would like to have others feedback on it as to know if adding that identification to each Downloads entry would really be used when someone submit a new entry. Also, we would need to define the list of available choices and what name will we give to that new field.
Whew, so you won't shoot me this time. I still have to fear any future moment when you may get together with Nadya and start making a list of things I said you could do :).
The field would be the usual AuthorID as before, there would just be a lNoEmailLink field, and the new meaning of AuthorID would be InCareOfID. Maybe add the OriginalAuthorID, which would be the same as AuthorID for the stuff which didn't get into the dump status. I don't remember your naming conventions too well, it's been long since I was playing with UT navigator files.
