hey Andrew I thought I'd send *this* bit to the list but feel free to

Just occurred to me that pobox.com might be useful to others.

Ow ow ow.

pobox.com catches nearly all spam and flags 98% of the spam I get as
[may be spam - pobox] in the subject line. I hardly ever get something
not obviously spam before I click on it. 


Very cheap, been dwayne at pobox.com since 1994 or 1995. Since they
started, basically.  And I get 500+ emails per day, and have been
getting that volume since I got online in 91.

Oh, and my email address has been on my webpages since 1993, and at one
stage I had 5% of the net per month looking at my pages.  Oh, and I used
to post to usenet under that address as well.  

So, it's been tested, I guess  :)
