I know there > are ways of obfuscating the email address using Javascript Indeed: http://www.turnstep.com/Spambot/avoidance.html Almost any change has an amazing rate of return: while a spambot can be simply changed to pick up things like greg "at" turnstep.com, there is so much low-hanging fruit around that few if any bother. Glad to see this is finally being changed. But we need to remove the mailto link and make it a simple text. I will propose one final thing: changing press at postgresql.org to something else, as that email is likely to get lots of spam for many years to come at this point. :( - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200312051936 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/0SUTvJuQZxSWSsgRAq/bAKDtoQACEHU3W/ljgG9LAhPO+Bj47QCfQdH0 Idtv09t5QMx8RVt3py4453Q= =9GIw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
