When I asked about making the archives on qth.net private, I was told

it was a long overdue security measure. Not quite sure what that means,
since I don't know all of the techniques and methods that spammers,

but presumably it has something to do with that.
If I recall, the archives at qth.net don't mask the email of the sender.
Thus, by posting there, you run the risk of having the SPAM robots getting
your email address.
The archives DID shield the email address, by putting it in the form "w2agn at
w2agn.net" The reason for the privatiziation I am sure has nothing to do with
looking out for spammers, but to prevent troublemakers like myself from
responding in private, especially to some of the QRP-Losers who then go whining
to Lowman that they are being harassed, etc. The same losers that say "I have
you in my filters," and really don't have a clue how to even MAKE a filter.
