Hi Kevin,
On 30 October 2000 at 14:26:52 GMT +0000 (which was 14:26 where I
live) Kevin wrote and made these points:

Although it is possible, I don't think that they bother. Taking a
freely published address is "fair game". Manipulating a masked address
of an individual who is clearly asking not to be bothered is an
absolute infringement of that individual's rights.
I know, I know :-), how can unscrupulous address harvester folk have
any scruples at all? They have to present as a genuine business at
certain levels. Believe it or not, spammers actually believe they
provide a legitimate and necessary service!

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure
