As i said, I am removing this as a matter of courtesy, so just hold
your hoses. Ill comment on security though:
1: @ERIC: I find the security you are referring to rudimentary, two
lines of code and i have all email addresses i need. If you look
keenly, emails on afraha are converted to images. The Obscure
addresses you are referring to are basically a "find and replace"
thing, which means reverse engineering will give me the original
email. Here is a quick one which gave me about 200 email addresses.
a) Go to the list archives and download the .tar.gz of the list.
b) open the text file: and do a find replace for " at " with "@"
then do that to all and tell me what you see.
Now, opensource scripts like sphider (cant remember the url) have
everything ready and virtually all you need is to modify code to look
for an at and replace with @ and you have everything.
Onto the matter of copyright and ownership, I would love some
enlightenment on ownership of content in my mailbox. esp with relation
to the Media Bill. (and this is just a debate, not an expresson of
impunity).
@ Washington, back to you.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples
then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea
and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will
have two ideas.
