If you consider my e-mail so trashed to be that annoying, I wasn't that
terribly interested in hearing from you.

:-P

I know that trashed e-mail addresses are not a terribly optimal way of
dealing with it, and I realize the annoyance folks like you have with it.

But, it works, my SPAM volume is way down since I started doing it. Once
junk e-mail gets treated like junk faxing, I'd be happy to stop it.

Until then, quit trying to send me e-mail and just reply in public...I
have nothing to hide, do you? And if you do, is it not worth a few extra
seconds to check to see if the reply-to address is valid, since so many
people trash their addresses in newsgroups? At least I made mine very
obvious when you read it.

Hey, I can understand you frustration, but do you have a solution? None of
mine have made it through Congress yet.  ;-)
