I used to have it rot13 encrypted to no avail, as it seemed.  It was
here on the python list that I saw sb else encoding their email address
with base64, can't remember who it was though, so it was not my idea but
I liked it, and I think that, although easy to decode once you get the
idea, it would need human intervention, so I'll drink to the
spamming-list-collector that will bother, and let them spam me once (I
administrate my company's network, and I try to improvise a lot to
reject spam during their delivery (before the message is received :) )
before they become inexistant, e-mail-wise.

Phew! a long sentence, if I've seen one.  No wonder I always liked
'Catch-22'.  At least I was on topic (re the subject, which is OT)
throughout the sentence!
