I agree as well. I do post a lot on usenet as well (using a different address, so I can see where an address was scraped from), and I can say that most of my spam goes to the addresses that are visible on Debian web pages, namely [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Addresses used on Usenet do not get a lot of spam nowadays.
