> Confirmed. :-)))

You are aware, I sure, spiders exist programmed to ignore such
foolishness as <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex"> and all other
silly and sophomoric attempts to send them away?

You are aware of course that the copyright police and others have
superior means of harvesting HTML data of any kind, **meta name robot
whatever?**

You are aware, of course that spammers are being offered those same
tools?

It's all a game and as a user, you are not in control. Today, the one
with the most money for things Internet, wins.

And my e-mail address has just been compromised as I discuss spam
eradication methods with the TB! list?

Lovely. Just lovely. That's what I get.

Is it any wonder I cast broad and all-encompassing nets? Is it any
wonder I have no patience to "teach" a well-intentioned Bayesian
filtering program what spam is for chrissakes?

For me it's simple: If I don't know you, your e-mail will be deleted
unread and you will get an auto-reply describing how to circumvent the
filter. If you choose not to read the reply or conform, you and your
message can take a hike.

It's all so painfully simple a child could do it.
