I'm quite aware of the techniques and software that spammers use to gather
their information. I own an ISP/colo company and I admin quite a few mail
servers. I am in the trenches every day fighting that stuff. Still, I will
bet you "great gobs of money" that your address didn't get harvested from
the archives of this list.

Regardless... I took the OLD archives offline. The new archives (which do
munge the email address) are of course still up. Once I figure a good way to
get the posts scrubbed, I'll put the old ones back online.

Jay West
