But if you view the original, the addy is back to normal. Nice attempt
at spam-trapping but not quite the full monty.

I'm a little confused how this will improve usenet ... if anything, I
think it's going to muck things up alot with newbies confusing mailing
lists with actual newsgroups.

And, can you imagine the horror of subscribing to the daily (unabridged)
digest of AWW???
