If I post a question to c.l.py, I make a point of checking the newsgroup
for answers.  I really would prefer NOT to get emailed replies, especially
if the answer is also in the newsgroup.

I do post from a valid email address, though it expires after a while
(i.e. the current one expires at the end of this year--no prize for
guessing next year's address :)).
