I would hope so. What saved my ass with the newsgroup spammmers is that
the posts are eventually deleted from the server after a time so
spammers looking for e-mail addresses to spam no longer find mine.
Since putting Steve's antispam suggestion into effect, I see no spam in
my Inbox which does make me less concerned. I guess that in return for
using the internet and being a member of a discussion list is to expect
some spam.

This is admittedly true and I clearly chose a bad one.
Thanks for the reassuring words.
