[rtpnet-tact] "hiding" e-mail addresses on Web pages

[Judy Hallman]

To rtpnet-list and TACT list:

On Web pages where I have e-mail addresses (other than info at rtpnet.org or
my address), I'm replacing "@" with " at ", so username at rtpnet.org becomes
username at rtpnet.org.

It might help cut down on the amount of spam you get.
See "Why Am I Getting All This Spam?
       Unsolicited Commercial E-mail
       Research Six Month Report"
at http://www.cdt.org/speech/spam/030319spamreport.shtml

It says:
  Our analysis indicated that e-mail addresses posted on Web sites or in newsgroups
  attract the most spam.

I'm leaving info at rtpnet.org because I think it's important that people be
able to contact us. I'm getting used to the spam. I wouldn't know what to
do if my mailbox was empty every morning.

By the way, I put a link to the report on
