  That was somebody's quick-and-easy solution to the problem of email
address harvesting.  Given the time demands on the people maintaining
GNHLUG's public resources, quick-and-easy counts for a *lot*.

  I'm not pleased with it as a long-term solution, myself.  I firmly believe
the list archives should be open and publicly searchable.  (The discussions
on the list can prove to be a valuable technical resource for others trying
to locate information.)  Long-term, I would prefer a more sophisticated
spam-guard solution.  But beggars can't be choosers.  :-)
