Makes sense.  I've never hidden this real email address.

Curiously enough, I get more spam from the private address I use for RL 
friends, money, etc.  I suspect a friend (one of the ones that doesn't 
realize that the default is REPLY ALL) somehow managed to release it to 
the wild.  Gmail is really good about de-spamming that account.

And speaking of idiots, which one decided that REPLY ALL should be the 
default?

Sure, but that's more trouble than it's worth.  I wish TB had a more 
reliable method of selecting junk -- every once in a while mail from a 
friend gets put into the junk file so I have to check before emptying 
it.  Gmail makes similar errors, but it picks up so much junk that I 
only check it at the website when I'm missing something.

Yeahyeahyeah, how much are we paying....
