usenet rule number one:

never use your complete name.


Why not?



spammers, they scan newsgroups for full names and real email addresses,
so if you suddenly start getting lots of spam, thats why, your use of
your real email leaves you open to that abuse


eg just use "Greg" or a nickname and put a spam blocker in your email

eg;
