Whenever I posted a valid email address on a public or semi-public place on the
net, the usual spam & virus terror hit me soon. So I switched to using faked
(antispam) addresses whenever possible. I have no other option, because those
mail attacks can render an important email account completely unuseable. Filters
are no perfect cure, when hundreds of such mails (up to megabytes daily!) flood
an account...

I was not intending to cause any trouble by doing so. I think people can
communicate with me via the message board anyway, and that should be sufficient.
