 Given that I had a gmail address that wasn't used in public get swamped 
 because spammers were running dictionary attacks on anything that had 
 ever been posted in front of an @ sign, I don't have any sympathy for 
 people who want Usenet to be what it was in 1989. 
  
 And I'd like a news reader which would send authentication to the mail 
 server I use, but like this news reader better than Hogwasher in other 
 ways.  I could take the munge out of the current address and have this 
 be directly repliable -- it's my third working verizon address -- but 
 I'm curious to see if spammers are actively demunging addresses.
