Hi all,

This is OT, but since this is the only ML I subscribe to, and you all seem to
be a fairly intelligent and verbose bunch, I thought I'd throw it out here. 
Well, maybe it's mildly related, as the amount of spam I've been getting has
skyrocketed since I first posted to this list.  Then again, that roughly
coincides with the dot bomb, and maybe the price Yahoo is selling my email
address for falls in lockstep with their share price.  I dunno.

Anyway, If I change my email address to display something like
'nospam_jasonpollard@yahoo.com', with a note for people to remove the 'nospam_'
bit when replying, will that be able to stop robots that scan archives of ML's
like this from grabbing my addr?  Does anybody else do this?  Is doing this too
inconvenient for people who want to correspond with me?  Does the
'bounce_keitai-l' address serve this same purpose?  Your thoughts please.

Thanks,

Jason
