Yes. The amount of time spent keeping my spam filter well-trained
is far smaller than the amount I'd lose faffing around with countless
throwaway email addresses.

I have to expose my address on the internet anyway for it to be useful.
Hiding it from Usenet isn't going to gain me anything useful.

I haven't noticed much spam to email addresses I use on Usenet, and the
spam filter catches it all. But regardless, a well-trained spam filter
allows me to continue using a consistent, working email address.
