When I first started using usenet, I niavely used my real email addy. I
just did a google search for my email addy, and found it is all over the
place. Now I know why my inbox is inundated with ads touting low interest
rates, pain relievers, penis enlargement pills, people from Nigeria wanting
me to help them get 30 mil out of their country for only 5mil, etc,etc.
will that stuff stay out there forever?

I dunno about forever, but as every indication is the archivers will continue
to hold every bit of trivia ever issued in this medium, including introductory
bon mots such as this

and make them forever available for email address stripping - not to mention
identity theft - it's probably not a bad idea to change your addy every so
often ;-)
I've changed my e-name/address so many times I feel lucky I can trace
myself on here back to '96. I don't know who I was before then or what
I was calling myself.
But I've left a lot of junk mail behind.
And the damned pills still haven't done anything.
