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

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 ;-)
