This is true, but extracting email addresses from a mailing list is much 
less common.  Before signing up for a list, I usually check the archives 
to make sure that it filters email addresses to prevent harvesting - and 
the Drupal archives seem to do a good job of this.  That's why I was so 
surprised at this - this is the first time I've ever gotten spam at an 
mailing list address that I thought was protected.

Is there a better place for this discussion?  I don't want to carry on 
an extended Off-Topic discussion.

Thanks,

Gary
