It's one thing to require an email address - it's another thing
entirely to publish it for spam address harvesting bots.

fwiw, I suspect far more email addresses are harvested from virus
infected users having their local email address books and inboxes
scanned than are scanned off web pages. its easier and cheaper.

Eh? I thought we used to obscure emails on these pages. Am I wrong,
or did something get changed?

It broke, you complained a couple of months ago, it hasn't been fixed
:-( As usual, I can't promise a quick fix but I'll move it to the top
of my todo list.

Oh, actually I think it was Bruce that complained, but it was my email
that was in the example he mentioned.

Our archives are really useful, but the code seems prone to mysterious
regressions for reasons that are not clear to me.

i am learning to use reply all, but having reply go to the list by default,
rather than the last person that replies might be useful as well.
