Sue,

Sandy won't be very impressed that when he took the trouble to use a spam
trap, *and* to point out that it was a spam trap and how to get to his
real address, you then quoted his address in full in your message. The
reason why he didn't quote the address in clear in the first place, and
why he included the instructions as to how to change the address, is that
it is easy for spammers to harvest addresses which are given in clear.

I will accept that it was my fault for not explicitly stating that my real
address should not be posted in the NG's. My wife says that I expect people
to know what I am thinking without me telling them and perhaps this is one
of those occasions.

Perhaps I should be using a text munged address like you David becauseother
posters have simply pressed the *Reply* button. Mailinator.com only holds
posts for "a few hours" then deletes them so there are no doubt that there
are people out there that are thinking that I just ignored them. The reason
I did not use a text munge to begin with was I thought that it was just a
matter of time before the spammers programmed their bots to parse text
addresses.
