Perhaps you shouldn't complain about lack of response when you make it
hard to respond.  ;-)

Being certain age and ethnic group, I reserve the right to complain any time
I feel like it :)

I hear that.  ;-)

Bots don't scare me at all.

- Dad, are you afraid of rabbits?
- Of course not, why?
- You take a dog and a gun when you go hunting.

Bots do not SCARE me, but the spam they bring do annoy me a lot!

But you are doing what you do because you think that if you don't,
something you don't like will happen.  That's an hypothesis worth
testing.

1. I don't use a spam filter, so I see it all.

2. I publish my real email address in every posting.

3. I seldom have more than a half-dozen spam messages a day, which
   I can delete before reading in about 20 seconds.

Apparently, the tactics used to collect email addresses have changed
since the newsgroup 'bot craze.

Anyway, looks like there is a critical mass: I'll do a tiny production run.
May take a few weeks.

Glad to hear it, Alex!
