Thanks, Chuck. On the spam munging though, I just looked at the article you
suggested and they seem to agree that appending garbage to my email (as in
vision@xxxxxxx(cramyerspam)) will indeed foil automated spam harvesting
spiders (although I coud envision a spider programmer stopping at any
parenthesis following an otherwise properly formed email address, but this
gets into an impossible game of cat and mouse regarding what might indeed be
appended, or inserted), which is what I am worried about primarily. I see no
difference in my method and one of the examples they gave,
tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Right or wrong?
