Oooohhh... Even better! Now, if I find someone on the list that wants to work on a project similar to mine (or I want to have a private side-discussion with for any other reason) there's no way that we can do so without first determining how the list manager decides whether something "looks like an email address" so that we can exchange addresses without having them arbitrarily destroyed. Look, I hate spam as much as the next geek, but when you start destroying useful functionality in your attempts to control it, then your solution is worse than the problem.
