Can't it simply be [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? That's what the ts-7000 list is, but that's yahoo groups ;-)

I don't mind if it's stored in a database somewhere in plain text, but i just feel kindof violated when people can use some data-miner to read my endless rants about how I would love to improve the current state of all things.

hehehe...

Hi everyone,

I know that we should all be free to write eachother and whatnot, but for the sake of at least some net-anonymity (and certainly a decreased amount of spam) wouldn't it be a wise suggestion to leave out domain names of list members?

Most other lists that I belong to do not post email addresses publicly. I don't really care for the most part, but i do happen to get some spam, which just .... well ... sucks.

The above site was discovered only while googling the first half of my username, and I doubt that anyone who writes crawl-engines for data mining purposes would _not_ think to replace [at] with @ when adding to the list of spamming targets.

Chris, That's my doing.. How would you prefer that the email addresses
be obscured? btw there are tons of other places where it's archived
plain/text.. But if you have a preferred method of obscuring then just
yell. I/we can't omit all of the domain.. So we have to use some sorta
separator.
