I was on that email list as well but i didn't feel the need to point out someone's mistake (for which they apologised) and then obnoxiously tell them how to do it right.
You said: Now I've got several hundred strangers able to send me, and everyone else on the list an e-mail with just a click of a button--a few already have
If i was concerned about the "Several Hundred" (bit high btw) strangers getting a hold of my email address, I might want to take my email address off my personal blog in which I welcome contact :S
Must have been a slow news day for Webware and now I am concerned about what cnet will do to my email address now I signed up to make this comment.....
