Thanks for the posting. I hope you get lots of responses from smart

Is this job in San Francisco by the way?

Wow, "candidate", sounds exciting like I am running for the senate

Well, clearly the OP isn't bright enough to know that if he posts his real
email address here, the SpamBots will be all over him. I guess he really
does need some help.

And even if he had hidden his email address I would have cleaned it up in my

Just as another data point, I've been posting my email addresses in
newsgroup messages for a couple of decades without major problems.

Well, spam hasn't been a major problem up until about 6 or 7 years ago. And
if you are running spam blocking or junk mail filters, those messages may
not have crossed your eyeballs directly. Also, your email address could
quite possibly be used as a forgery in sending spam to others without your
knowledge.

That's my point. Who doesn't have such filters these days, either directly
or through their ISP?

I don't see how much of a weapon that would be. Valid from-addresses are
easy to find.

Uh, can you say bandwith a spam-attacks?

If I'm a spammer, I certainly wouldn't want to put my actual email address
in the From field, I'll just hijack yours!

What do you consider major? Every email adrewss I use in google ngs
get spmmed so much and in fact, from the beginning, I never bothered to
log in to those email accounts.
I know that there are some poeple who uses just one email address for
everything. Id there anythign specil thay did to their account to be
able to handle such massive spams?

I get about 500 spams a day. Thunderbird's spam filter catches most of
those, and it doesn't take me long to delete the rest. The thing is,
I'd much rather be easily accessible to those who want to get in touch
with me legitimately and suffer the pain of spam than make it harder
for people to mail me and get slightly less spam. (Once you've used
your real address in a few places where you have to, you're pretty much
guaranteed to get spam.)

Maybe that means Scott considers me not bright enough to help him any
more?

 

[Scott M.]

No, it just means that I hate it when people use the NG's as job posting
boards and that an extra 500 spams a day is what I hope the OP gets.

 

[Mark Wilden]

I can "say" it, but I don't really understand what you're talking about.
And, as I said, I don't have trouble.

If I'm a spammer, I certainly wouldn't want to put my actual email address
in the From field, I'll just hijack yours!

Or hijack any of a million others that are available.

I just use an ISP with good spam filters, I guess.

Exactly. I consider it slightly rude not to use a legitimate address on
newsgroups, actually. Why should people have to jump through hoops to get in
touch with me?

I can "say" it, but I don't really understand what you're talking about.

Well, I guess that kind of makes my point. There are many negative effects
of spam that many people don't consider. Just because it doesn't make it to
your mailbox, doesn't mean it's not a problem.

And, as I said, I don't have trouble.

And, where would I get my hands on some of those? Maybe look for them in
public newsgroups using a spambot?

 

[Scott M.]

Exactly. I consider it slightly rude not to use a legitimate address on
newsgroups, actually.

Then perhaps you could explain why it is standard practice for Microsoft to
require it's MSDN subscribers to set up email aliases for posting to these
newsgroups?

Why should people have to jump through hoops to get in touch with me?

There are no hoops to jump though. You can simply post your address like
this: (e-mail address removed) or even me @ aol.com.

 

[Scott M.]

I just use an ISP with good spam filters, I guess.

And, as I've said previously, you don't understand the full implications of
posting a real email address regardless of whether spam reaches your in box.

 

[Jon Skeet [C# MVP]]

this: (e-mail address removed) or even me @ aol.com.

In what way is having to alter the email address not a hoop to jump
through? It's not a very big one, but you first have to notice that
it's there... these days it's more common, so I guess if I were mailing
someone from the newsgroup I'd bother to check, but back when real mail
addresses were seen more commonly, I'd frequently find that I'd replied
to someone by mail and that it had bounced. Sometimes I'd bother to
correct it and remail them, but sometimes I wouldn't - so communication
was diminished.
