Re: OT - worm problem

Ah-ha!  So that is where I am getting them!  The same thing happened to 
me.  I had a suspision.

What is the chance that email addresses in the archives could be 
modified to say something like
    * From: Zach Archer <chaz (at) dslnorthwest.net>
instead of
    * From: Zach Archer <chaz@dslnorthwest.net>
so the email address spiders do not get them?  I think this may help in 
the future (but will do nothing for the past).
