Right, but as noted previously every time you post there is the danger
that someone who replies will include your email address in their
reply. That's not something you can control.

I'm glad to hear that most of my spam is not coming from this list -
yet. Surely it's only a matter of time before a spider crawls over the
archives and harvests the email addresses of pretty much everyone on
this list who has ever posted and had a reply.

Again, this isn't something I'm paranoid about, the Gmail spam filters
are about 98% accurate and I can handle a bit of spam, I just thought
it was something worth noticing.
