I don't think this is right.

Of couse, a spammer could even subscribe to our list and get our addresses.

But leaving them on a web page like that is ridiculously knaive.

10 years ago there might have been some expectation of privacy when it comes
to email addresses. That went out the window years ago.


Nowadays email addresses are more like public record. There are sooooo many
ways a spammer can get your email address that this site isn't going to make
one iota of difference. Trawling web pages is so 1990's. You're more likely
to get spam from some trojan that walked a colleague's LookOut (oops, I mean
Outlook) address book than you are from a web crawler.


Until the internet community and maybe even governments (urgh!) get their
act together you're not going to stop it.


Move on.
