Tim,

I have been noticing an increase in the amount of spam I have been getting and looking for places where that email address is exposed on the web. I noticed that in the forum software you are using, when a person posts and supplies an email address, that email address is exposed as a mail to tag on the resultant page. This seems like it would be easily crawled by spammers and harvested.

Can you do anything about this in general to not expose these email addresses. Or, if not possible globably, is there a way it could be addressed for the one or two posts that I have made over the years?

Thanks,

~bill
