1) The existence of other sources is a reason FOR removal of this, not against. Who needs redundancy? 2) In the other sources I get to pick which address I will let the spammers abuse -- here, an address is used against my wishes. 3) Let me reiterate that nobody but spammers needs that list anyway. An NM knows the address of their AM because they contacted him. The Front desk knows the address because they're omnipotent :) And others know the address from those other pages. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
