i'm kinda with you, paul... something else, though, that would be good is to 
mash the email addresses... there're still way too many email address 
harvesters out there... i thin i would mask the email addresses so that their 
first maybe three characters remain, the rest to the @ are dots and then the 
domain...

eg: some.user@invalid  =>  som...@invalid

or something like that... similar to that seen on forum web sites and comment 
areas on blogs...
