EFR,

FIRST: With YAHOO! eGroups it is best to 'create' an
"Alternative" eMail Address specifically for them.

Indeed. I can't believe that people still use their real name and
real ISP email address on places like usenet and Yahoo Groups. I
haven't used my real name or address for years. I don't get *any*
spam. I don't get *any* email viruses.

The only public email address I have is a Hotmail address.

I guess that's understandable although I can't imagine posting
under anything but my name and address.

Of course when I got my first domain in 1993, there wasn't a lot
of spam but I still answer to that address in 2004.

For "fact-based" UseNet groups, I have no trouble with people
wearing falsies but - as soon as the topic goe to
"political/religious", I start killfooling anyone who doesn't
have the integrity to stand up for her/his/its beliefs.


It's simply a matter of morality to me. And, of course, your
milage may vary.
