now to begin with....

It's not the fault of this group. ANY place you publically post your
un-cyphered e-mail address will probably be mined.

Some ISP are better at rejecting spam than others. Posting to this group doesn't
seem to be associated with much spam at my 'public' address , although there is
another group I occasionally post to which definitely causes a (temporary) surge in
spam.

I have a particular address I use for registering with web pages. It gets *loaded*
with spam. I have others which I keep completely private. These addresses
have both gotten at least one spam email, probably from a spam engine that
combines various and sundry initials to 'surname@[some_isp].'
