This will only keep amateurs from grabbing your E-mail addresses.
By simply subscribing to the list, archiving the mail and extracting
the addresses, one can harvest everyone's E-mail address with little
effort. (1)
Nevertheless, every little bit helps to beat spammers...
(1): To prove my point I will now add the list of E-mail addresses of the
TBUDL-list. However, to make things less obvious for spammers I
will write them in white letters on a white background (2)
(2): You can try to find them beneath the signature, but you might as
well not loose your time... :-)
Well, seriously folks, it IS really easy...
