If you send your email address to someone you are just as likly to get
spammed from that as you are anywhere else. Anyone that puts your email
address in their address folder is setting you up for virus' and spam.

Nonsense.

That's like saying tha tyou are as likely to crash flying in clear,
windless weather at noon as you are flying through the eye of a
tornado. While it is posible to crash either way the latter is
a certainty.

Either way

An email address on someone's PC might be compromised but one that
is posted in UseNet headers is certain to be harvested repeatedly.

Thank's for backing me up, Jerry sounds like he knows it all, I'd just like
to know how much he really knows.

I know enough to not be afraid to use my real email address and not get
bombarded with spam. Beyond that you guys do whatever makes you feel
comfortable. I also know enough not to use Outlook Express which you
mentioned in another post. I am not going to try to compete with all of
you that know so much about how email address are harvested and how spam
is sent. I know what works for me I get one or maybe two spams a day, I
can live with that. I have been using my real email address in RAH for
years, probably since 1990 or there abouts.
