With all due respect, I think it *does* belong on this group. The
anti-spammed addresses annoy (to say the least) most of the people who
are actively offering help here. An annoyed person is not in a good mood
to provide efficient help. The effect of this hurts user support that we
all cherish. Since one of the main purposes of this group is to provide
such support, it is IMHO highly relevant.
However, since the reasons for which anti-spammed addresses are annoying
were already explained in so many words, I am also willing to end this
thread, but not before I ask once more that everybody PLEASE STOP USING
THE ANTI-SPAMMED ADDRESSES. You are actually hurting user support on
this group by spamming those who offer you help. There are other ways of
fighting spam; please use them.
