I do consider it resonable that tools for making information available over the Web protect e-mail addresses. Google does it, Yahoo does it, and probably many more do. In many countries, for example here in France, there is a legal obligation for Web publishers not to make anyone's personal information public without the person's explicit consent. Any decent Web tool needs to provide support for this. > But my recommendation of course is to use an email client that can > deal with spam for you.

(For > example http://www.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.security.ssh/ > 2003-01/0402.html) I have a pretty good spam filter, but since it filters out a few valid e-mails as well (which by virtue of Murphy's law are the most important ones), I need to scan through the spam messages anyway. I don't think there is any spam filter I would trust blindly. Given that there is no perfect technology for solving the spam problem, everyone should do their best to reduce spam, and that includes making an effort not to publish e-mail addresses.
