Hi guys, I just did a search of my name on Google and found an item from the skunkworks online archive. The thing (mailman) does some good job in that it doesn not display the actual email address but only changes the @ symbol to the word. I was just wondering, isn't it possible for someone to write a bot that can harvest email addresses and sell them to spammers? Pardon me if I sound a bit paranoid, but the very thought of my email address appearing on Google Search isn't very pleasant. What are your views? Me. -- Be kind to your dentist - he has fillings too...
