Actually Phil I have been seriously thinking about doing the same.
A couple of recent posts via GB got me thinking that way, still not sure
if
they were "wind ups" or not.

I'm pretty sure the one who (after lots of effort iinput by urg)
recently declined to answer your perfectly polite and reasonable
question (twice) was a wind up..there was a lot else in their posts that
made no sense. There appear to be an increasing number of trolls (the
spate of cod "university research" was an example) using gardenbanter as
cover :-(

Chris Bacon has just alerted me to the fact that despite
gardenbanters promise to conceal posters' email addresses (from their
post headers), in the case of usenet posters it doesn't honour the
promise.
IOW, those here using real email contact addresses are having them
permanently recorded on a commercial website; a valuable commercial
resource to the website and its advertisers.

One way to avoid that is to auto-mark your posts "X-no-archive-yes",
which prevents them appearing at all on gardenbanter. They will appear
on google-groups for seven days only (enabling those who use it as a
usenet access to read and reply).

Thanks Janet, not only do they ponce on URG but they ignore their own rules
too where we are concerned.
Anyone know how I "auto" that "X-no-archive-yes" in OE? Can it be in the
sig?
