RE: [Vxl-users] Too much spam

[Paul S. <pau...@vi...>]

According to a recent report
http://www.cdt.org/speech/spam/030319spamreport.shtml

Some of the conclusions are that
a) E-mail addresses harvested from the public Web are most frequently used
by spammers.
b) E-mail addresses harvested from the public Web appear to have a
relatively short "shelf life."
c) Obscuring an e-mail address is an effective way to avoid spam from
harvesters on the Web or on USENET newsgroups

Obfuscating the email addresses vxl...@li... (7 hits on
google) and vxl...@li... (6 hits) on their web
pages might be a simple step to take - albeit not an immediate solution -
and one that wouldn't hurt potential new users much.
