Folks, back in the mid 1990s as a challenge I wrote a web page with some raw JavaScript in it to generate a large table of random but vaguely realistic looking email addresses (using letter distribution frequencies). It was folklore back then that pages like this would "poison" spam address harvesters.
Almost 20 years later I'm still getting daily 404 requests for that ancient page, so I found a copy, modernised it a bit and it still works. BUT ... in IE's View Source you do not see any of the html emitted by the script. Is by design? Does it mean that the spam harvesters would never drink their poison? Technically, I'm surprised that the browser is ignorant of script changes to the DOM. Can anyone explain the behaviour? *Greg*
