    So you won't mind if I post your email address (shown in your message header) after removing the spam obfuscation then?

    I really did consider doing this (especially since its a Gmail one and you probably wouldnt have got any spam anyway) but decided that giving the spammers one more email would just result in extra crap flying round the wires of the internet, even if it did never get anywhere you could read it.
