This is an interesting reaction to the autoresponder and, I hope, a
general one.
It's been mine. (Though I *am* willing to "fix" a Usenet posted
address, since I appreciate the address-harvesting problem.)
On the Usenet groups that I frequent 'address harvesting' is minimal
or non-existent. I tried the experiment several months ago of changing
the address for my Usenet postings, in those several months I
think I have had only about two or three bits of junk mail to that
address and they could probably be accounted for by other means (i.e.
other people copying the address elesewhere inadvertently). I'm
currently subscribed to 61 groups.
