The problem with this, though I've already done this is that I can't
remove the address from previous posts that are archived and already on
the server. :)

True.

I joined *one* newsgroup ..... *one* ..... and in a short time I was
getting up to 10 spam messages per day. Now you can see where I'm coming
from. It took about four months after removing my e-mail address for the
spam to slow down to an average of 2-3 per day. You're ISP is probably
assisting you there.
