um, this mail list server is a 'public accessible server' and it has our 
email addresses, and possibly full names, which are 'personal data'.

a web forum often has more info that that, depending one what you filled 
in on your user profile.  for instance, my registrations on several 
car-related forums include a list of the car year/models I own.
