You should not be using your regular email address in any venue where it's
publicly accessible, unless you want your inbox filled with an
ever-increasing mountain of crap mail. Don't bother trying to hide your
email address. Just don't use it. Period. End of question and answer time.
Your solution: Set up a trash email address through one of the free services
like Yahoo. If you think you might occasionally get valid emails at that
address, make a habit of checking it at certain intervals.

It's considered bad form for people who respond to your newsgroup questions
via email, since that detracts from the whole point of the public forum:
It's supposed to allow others to learn from your questions. So, except for
people who haven't figured this out, you'll probably find you get very few
responses via email.

How do I stop this group from showing my e-mail address on the
header... I tried "preferances" and found nothing.
