I think Vernon said it best about this topic:

As I've said before, I think that the price of admission to 
this mailing list should include sufficient practical 
knowledge of spam and spam defenses to not need to worry 
about exposing one's address. Besides, anyone advocating 
challenge-response, authentication, or any of several other 
spam defenses and complains about spam as a result of address 
exposure here or anywhere is either admitting practical 
ignorance of the adovcated defense or saying that the 
advocated defense is useless.


Anyone with reasonable knowledge of spam knows that public dicussions
are common source of email addresses for spammers and this list, if any,
would be one that spammers would monitor extremely closely (btw, I
suspect that an email inquirty I recently received from someone in
Hungary was a spammer) as a source of knowledge of the research as well
as email addresses.

So I would definitely say that if you don't have good anti-spam
processes working, don't post.
