No, we have a different view on what constitutes a professional
spammers address harvesting operation. I already *have* harvested
the addresses as they come in. *I'm* not about to use them for
spamming. If it is your intent to do so, I would be very surprised.

The labour intensive part is not reaping the addresses in stored
messages. It is applying for list membership, waiting for the
confirm message back from the server, confirming, waiting for a few
weeks while enough addresses come in worth having then reaping the
benefits of harvesting.

It isn't going to happen!

It is not very responsible of you to suggest it might.

Either you're being humorous or you're not understanding what you
are suggesting yourself. Either way, I am attempting to make it
clear to the membership that they are not in danger of having their
addresses harvested by any spammer by posting to the list - unless
they show their email address in the body of their posting.
