Speaking of idiot's crap, does anyone have methods to share for avoiding
the harvesting of your address off your FAQ? It's obvious that the address
on my FAQ is responsible for the bulk of the crap I get. Brighlight only
gets a fraction of it. No, I'm not giving up my life to install Linux and
promail, and no, it's not easy. I've thought of switching the address on
my FAQ to a hotmail address. Their spam blocking is really quite good now.
 If it were a dummy address that I'd never have to deal with that would
solve the whole problem. I've several .edu addresses I could use. Edu
addresses seem to have a natural immunity to spam, though some still gets
through. Seems the DMA educates their assholes not to spam edu and gov
addresses.

In changing an address on a FAQ is it absolutely necessary to resubmit the
FAQ to MIT? Can the address be changed at any time? What's the procedure?
