They're already being used. I receive spam addressed from
keeling@spots.ab.ca, which doesn't surprise me. "My posting them ...
isn't going to let any cats out of any bags that aren't already out."
I'll happily remove any entry from the list when requested, and so far
I've not received any such request. I'm just trying to increase the
noise in their S/N ratio, that's all.
