Hmm - can anyone think of a way to munge an email address that is obvious for humans
to unmunge but not by a quickly written perl script?  Maybe if each address is
munged differently?  I think the best we can do is eliminate the obvious stuff that
gets devoured by the average address-collecting program.

Is there anything to prevent someone from creating their own squeak-L "archive"?  I
have one [a bunch of Netscape mail folders - I just don't put it on the Internet :-)
].  What can stop someone from subscribing to ANY mailing list, and then farming the
received email for addresses?

We are, after all, a pretty "elite" group of people worthy of a selective spammer -
at least, we have more members likely to travel to Argentina than, say, the
pencil-collectors maillist.
