Just to jump in on the e-mail protection thread.
I Personally don't go to great lengths to protect my e-mail. Instead I just
run good spam filtering software and never get to see the spammers efforts.
Let them dig out my e-mail and add me to hundreds of list. It never gets to
me so they just waste their time.
I think it's for everyone to decide how they manage how they protect their
e-mail (if indeed they want to at all). No problem with people giving thier
view on the matter. But it's just that, thier view. Still down to the
original requester of help to decide for themself.
I suspect if help is required most people will take up the offer. But it
wouldn't be unwise to use a disposable hotmail or somesuch address.
