ah yes, the joy of Perl and Unix. :)

In the battle of Spam, we have a tool to fight the 
email harvesters.  :)  

In any directory where you have email addresses visible, excute
the following command line perl string (change suffix as needed, e.g.
from .txt to .html):

        find . *.txt -exec perl -pi -e 's/@/-at-/g' {} \;

If you have info put in that direcotry on a regular
basis, set up a cron job to keep the files harvest resistant clean.

This will only slow the scoundrels down.  See http://www.cauce.org for
more info.  Remember spam is UCE - unsolicited commercial email.  Not a cross
post between lists like some folks have said, that's a different issue. :)

So, remember that when surfing wagoneers.com, the email addresses are still
there, but they're "shielded", at least till the harvesters learn my "security
by obscurity" technique, well, then I'll have to devise another diabolocal technique.
Given the power of Perl, shouldn't be a problem. :)

Also, the Washington State anti-spam law has been upheld!!!  :)

see also 6 ways to keep spam away, or at least at bay:
   http://www.spamrecycle.com/antispammthings.cfm
	1) never respond to spam
	2) don't post your address on your website (this is what I fixed!)
	3) use a second email address in NEWSGROUPS (usenet is spammers heaven)
	4) don't give your email w/o knowing how it'll be used
	5) use a spam filter (white bread? ;)
	6) never, repeat NEVER, buy anything advertised in spam

later,
john
