I agree. The last thing I want is to be harvested by more idiot spammers.
Yet
this spamming trend may lead to two distasteful choices: unsubscribe, or,
the
useage of a bogus address. Leaving would make me feel like I gave in to the
low-lifes, which would just irk the hell out of me! But I also don't want to
feel
like I have to 'hide' within an otherwise high-caliber and professional list
like
this one, either.
