Re: gmane.org

Hi Mike,

When I click on the link, I get back a graphically obfuscated version of 
your email address. From my point of view that is reasonable enough, no?

My concern is always about harvesting of email addresses, but 
obfuscating the email address like they do is enough for me. Posting on 
a public forum, I fully expect to see content archived somewhere - I 
never thought of IOZ as a CUG.

regards,
   -Tiaan.
