Sorry, not good enough. Security by obscurity isn't acceptable. Remember, if

"within reason" means you have to meet our minimum standards, Kevin. That's
not your option. Please cooperate. But in the end, it's not up to you. It's
not your data to do waht you choose with.

My first trivial search exposed email addresses. Either I didn't look
closely last time, or I'm getting better at searching. (hint: search for "a"
in the posted-by field. So with about 10 trivial searches, you can get every
accessible e-mail address in your archives).
