Just curious, but why do you post the real thing here, for spam bots to
harvest?


It has been observed that spammers generally harvest from the headers
rather than from the body of Usenet traffic. That said, a fair number
of
Usenet newsgroups are gated to webpages.

Regardless, I use a proper email address in the headers of my Usenet
articles because doing otherwise breaks an important useful feature
of NNTP.

What gound I do yield to spammers I yield grudgingly and never without
a fight.

I would guess that the number of spammers who have lost accounts
because of the complaints I have sent could be counted on my fingers
and toes. But that number is greater than zero.
