I agree - I often used to post under a a selection of jokey pseudonyms, but with
my correct isp, so the addresses were valid - then sometimes years later those
names were surfacing to haunt me in the spammers lists. Now I hide behind
multiple cunning artifices (not artificers as I amost wrote) and see no spam.

The cunning artificer - must be a song there somewhere, and that would be a good
job people, because this thread has zilch to do with any sort of HORSE ...
