It might be helpful to remind fellow listers that whatever you include
in the body of your emails gets put unchanged into the list archives. 
So, if you include your email address as part of your sig, it's there
in the archives for everyone to see (and "farm").

Note that the domain names in the email addresses in the email headers
are "masked" when they get posted to the archives.

Of course, if someone is farming addresses by subscribing to the list
and picking off addresses that way, then there's not much we can do
about that.

I gave up using my company email for list email because of spam.  It's
a lot easier to create a new yahoo email account than to have to
explain to your boss why you're getting spammed.

Just my .02.
