There is already a notice on the subscription webpage. If a person
contributes an idea the person receives credit for it. The idea does
not become the "property" of the Mauritius Internet Users.

That is stuff which students are supposed to learn at
university. Anyone with adequate work experience is supposed to be
able to find out how to do that.

A person would not read the topics if they are not interesting. I
would not blame the person as it is for him/her to choose what is interesting.

Your problem could be described as follows:

   (i) Your university is unable to provide you with an email address.

   (ii) I will ask you for a university email address and you will not
        be able to show that because of (i).

Please try to solve that.
