Hear hear, I wish more people would take this POV. Hiding your email address
is a constant process that you can never stop doing; and once you've made one
mistake the spammers get you anyway. Better to implement filters and never see
them. And if they still get through, just hit 'd' (the spam I get is
identifiable by subject 99% of the time), and move on...
