Heheh, I've found mine to be so effective I only get a SPAM mesage maybe
once a month, the rest ends up in the trash!

True

Well, when they make SPAMing by e-mail punishable like junk faxes, I'd be
more than happy to "unmash" my return address. Anyone who *really* has
something to say to me via direct response from a NG will have to work a
little, what a bummer.

:/

Remember how long it took to *write* a letter (with a pen or pencil),
fill-out an envelope, put a stamp on it, mail it, then get a response? I
don't think figuring out my real e-mail address, when it is so clear, is
all *that* much trouble if it keeps SPAM out of my hair.
