A SPAM suggestion

One place to pick up a lot of unwanted spam is in a newsgroup. Therefore,when you participate in a newsgroup, you should mask your e-mail address. For example, if your e-mail address is jane@wherever.com,enter it in the newsgroup as jane@delete_wherever.com.
With your e-mail address entered this way, people who need to send you e-mail can see that they have to delete the "delete_" party of the address. Computer programs that troll for e-mail addresses are not that smart.
