Re: Applicatoin User Management with Access Control Lists

Look, I'd recommend you go back to using a bogus address ... the spammers are highly adept at harvesting email addresses from newsgroups, regardless of which news reader client you use! They are probably wise to simple tricks like including the word NOSPAM inside your email address.

I like Tim X's method of concealing his real address inside a block of natural language - virtually impossible to harvest mechanically!
