Email address munging is considered harmful. It serves only to hinder legitimate replies to your email, and utterly ignores the very problem it supposedly "resolves." Debian's lists are also open to all posters and acccessable via gmane, etc. and those readers do like to post, too. Not to mention people replying to list archives. http://www.interhack.net/pubs/munging-harmful/ -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
