Rodney, I was aware. I remove all "mailto" tags from the archived msgs as do most other list archivers so spambots don't get what they're looking for. As extra safety measure, I've implemented Wpoison which does a great job of misleading these bots and often see them caught in a loop for hours till the bot operators stop the sessions. I check the logs regularly for archive bot activity and I don't see Google as an enemy while others easily reach that status but usually give up pretty fast. In worst of cases I'd be forced to password protect the archives which would be a pain.
