Hmm, intersting; fortunately it's bypassed me so far. But ... Wouldn't it be rather easy to scrape addresses from news.gmane.org post Headers? e.g. I just looked at it and see your address and a Reply To; same with everyone else that posts. It's one of the "bennies" of newsgroups, unfortunately. I'm not aware at least , of any such mechanism that could protect robot scraping from a publically accessible newsgroup. You have to join to post, but not to read.
