You don't understand. The replies I get to those addresses are
either spam, or some dumb idiot in news.newusers.questions using
my FAQ to practise hitting the reply key, or some other idiot insisting
that I unsubscribe him - unsubscribe from !what!?.
Inflicting them upon a Usenet group, or worse, a moderator, would be even
worse.
