Personally, I stronly oppose From:-munging -- it disrupts mail service at
quite a few places, as do other methods, such as confirming mails through
automated whitelist-systems. Just to illustrate: I've been the vote taker
for some Usenet votes in the ch.*-hierarchy; about 15% of the votes had to
be processed manually due to munged addresses and automated whitelists.

IMO FAQ-maintainers should not set a precedence of surrender to spam.

foo@bar.tld gives a nice foo@bar.tld

Matthias
