I use these numbers so that followups to my posts cannot be looked up
using my posting address as a search term.

I thought you were going to say it was an anti-spam thing-- some
people post using a temporary address that's re-directed to /dev/null
after a couple of days, so people can contact them now but not later.

I hadn't noticed that you don't have a real address up there anyway...

(The address I use here gets so much spam that I no longer worry about
it-- Spambouncer traps most of it anyway. I have another private
address for people who know me.)
