Sorry - annoyed of Dartmoor - you can climb off your high horse now.

It's not an address I plan to use - I was just trying something out as I 
lost all my previous settings in a mail programme reinstall and had to 
shuffle nospam addresses - and as for netiquette - yes, been there, got 
the T shirt.

I think most folks on this ng know where to find me and I didn't try to 
hide who I was - as you'll see above.

This mail is using my usual anti-spam address - see, no domain names. 
I'm guessing you're fairly new to this group - or at least, not a 
regular poster otherwise you'd probably have been able to work out where 
to find me.

I didn't realise until afterwards that <.to> is a valid address for 
Tongan domain names. Mea culpa.

On another tack...

I think someone has kidnapped my artisan hyphen harmony domain name for 
spamming. Over the past four days I've had hundreds of mails returning 
spam I did not post. I'm currently the delighted recipient of 600+ 
e-mails a day - only about 4% of which are real. Hence I use a nospam 
address for newsgroup postings - though how much it helps is difficult 
to quantify.
