Please, keep it the way it's been, Tony. As I stated earlier, I value
that dialog with the friends I've made on this list and future
acquaintances that I'm sure will join.

Tony, I think you should leave it as it is. It's not broken, as far as I
can see. I think the silent majority appreciate your efforts to keep the
conduit open for the (thinning) discussions, some

I'm done with it. It stayed on because of the question of whether or not
list members want their email addresses exposed to other list members,
risking spam. If anyone has a view either way I would prefer it gets
expressed on list

Why?
I get a couple of hundred spams a day and I simply use the built-in spam
filter in Vista's Windows Mail; it is the best I have come across. It only
misses about 1 in a 100, and takes out far fewer genuine emails, so a quick
glance through the list

Tony, let me preface my remarks with one that I think is important: I

Thanks for uncovering that archive. It is highly likely that is where our

Thank you Tony for explaining why list member email addresses are
available -- it does make some sense for those who are willing to put
up with spam and its natural corollary, spam filters.
I will take some exception to your comment

Art,
Here is an interesting article -
http://thetechdon.com/40-of-all-spam-comes-from-just-one-source/ that you
may not have seen.
And note at the end that most spam and viruses come from
.USA!! About 2.5 times more than Turkey - the next worst
offender.

I believe Tony explained that everyone's address is visible. I can
certainly see them.

Sigh -- nobody responded directly to my original question, which is
Why is my email address displayed on the filmscanners board?

Most ISP's offer spam filtering, usually based on Spamassassin or similar,
and that works well. Sometimes free, sometimes an additional low cost.
Always worth asking because
I try to steer the Mac users I know to open source multi-platform
programs like Thunderbird for email, Firefox for browsing, etc. It makes
it easier to help them. Thunderbird has a simple filtering scheme
(rules). There was a recent hackers event that broke into a Mac Air in
two minutes using flaws
Thanks, Tony, for doing what you can about the spam problem.
And please feel free to suggest what we might do to help make it less
of a problem.
It's actually only a very minor nuisance for me, but I have no idea
why that is, unless it's because I've been on Mac's and done what I

The sender's email address appears on every message, not just yours, in
the 'from:' header
I can't directly help you with your request, but I can tell you that as
someone who has several of my email addresses out there in the public,
that the last few months things have gone absolutely crazy with spam. I
do not directly publish my email address in a normally readable format,
