While I can understand the concern, people on the net will get harvested.
The solution is not to hide or mangle the person's name. If credits are
due then give then. If you feel that is wrong then don't. If you feel that
you need to ask first do so.

We are not going to solve the spam problem here and hiding our heads in the
sand is not serving anyone, expecially your readership. Let them know who is
contributing and send a direct copy to everyone new you list. If that person
has a problem with it they can ask you to take it out before the next post.

People are learning about filtering. If they have contributed enough to get
listed in a FAQ then they have been dealing with spam for while...

Don't let this crap control your approach to the net. Otherwise those
sh*theads have won..
