It's less arrogant than TMDA, but it's still a clumsy way to get email from
a Web site. There are much better ways. For one thing, there are various
ways of obfuscating mailto: links so that the email-spidering software used
by spammers won't see them. The method I use is to have email forms on my
Web sites, these send mail directly to me and are invulnerable to spammers.

Passwords might be a good compromise if you do lots of posting to USENET,
though.
