Hi Stuart,
Your email address is not 'poached', & won't be 'poached', unless you have

Not an idea solution... but why don't you setup yourself a separate
email address use on the WAMUG list... and keep a separate address for
'client only' queries and responses (and never post that here)
But the longer term solution is to kill the 'reply via email' option
