Re: Why is it I am getting people asking me to remove them from the list

I understand that you and your team don't normally honour these requests, but in this case, I believe that this case is an exception to this policy. In this case, these two messages linked above were sent while my email account was hacked. Currently, I am getting occasional spam because of this. It is most likely that the hacker sent the first email from my email address to ask a genuine question but logged into the wrong account and purposely clicked on the link in the email asking for consent for their message to be published to the www-validator archive. The second time I got hacked, the hacker probably looked up my email address just to see where it has been used before to send another question asking to remove me, but the email was a low-effort attempt, short, and in a condescending tone. Unfortunately, I don't have these messages (e.g. the one that asked for my consent) because the entire inbox has been cleared out before I got my email account back both times. Can you please remove these messages and/or its replies in the threads (one thread linked has multiple messages), or at least remove/obfuscate my email address (i.e. anonymizing the messages) and prevent the links (this includes the non-obvious ones, such as the "Respond" button and anywhere where my email shows in the source code, whether in the contents of the elements or the href="mailto:xxx" attributes) from going to my email?
