even though I will opt not to hide my address (since my address seem to live
inside every spam directory on the planet already), I support Doug's suggestion
of removing the group from the directory rather than having mangled adresses.

As for spam, my inbox was reborn on the day I discovered that my email provider
scanned and flagged all spam using SpamAssassin. Now I've set up a filter which
removes 99.9% of all spam from my inbox based on this flag. Good stuff!

Reversible medicine ought to be prescribed before anything else!
