Hi John
I would like to see every single spammer placed onto some kind of
space vehicle and blasted into the sun. They are the lowest scum of
the earth. They've destroyed e-mail communication and made it
impossible for anyone to make their real e-mail address public. Have
you ever read "Thank The Spammers"? It's at
http://www.linxnet.com/misc/spam/thank_spammers.html and other
websites.
Having expressed that view which I admit is nothing at all to do
with low ESR caps or even electronics, I'd like to suggest that anyone
reading this who has a website takes a look at a neat little online
program which turns text into "character entities". When an e-mail
address on a website's coded with that, the present generation of scum
spammer harvesting bots can't see it. I hope it stays that way.

Cheers
Bob

Hi Bob,

Well, I've use two different tacts to try and defeat spam, one that
works quite well is my return email address that I use on newsgroups
(and it IS valid! ;-) - think about what the spammers trim
automatically from posted emails and you will get it. The second is to
use my email address (parts@...) on the web site, BUT with using escape
codes inthe HTML coded part so the spam sniffers don't see it. Look
for 'munging your email address' on google for this trick.

With these two in action I only get about ten spams a day to my web
site email address(parts@...) and none (0) to the newsgroup return
address.

My regular one (JRR@...) I get a couple of hundred a day (sigh) but
that is because it is in WAY too many address books around the world -
but Eudora catches 95% of spam that comes in that way, leaving me
simply to have to review the junk (ten or so a day) that gets to the
inbox. If I opened a new address I'm sure it would not get much at all
using these procedures.

Oh, and I use a MAC running OS X so viruses, spyware, and worms are of
no concern at all.
