Ordinarily, I don't say anything, but with all these folks posting their e-mail addresses...

As a public service, I would inform you that spammers have developed software that harvests e-mail addresses from public forums like this one. Anyone who posts their e-mail address can expect to receive an extra helping of the spam that now constitutes over 90% of all e-mails.

If you must post your e-mail address, then you might consider making it look like something else: for instance, p15 [[AT] comcast DOT net. That's easy to figure out but a lot harder for software to scan.
