The odd thing is that I use gmail for lists mostly. It's interface
with threads make it very nice for reading discussion lists.

So my address is very public, but I get no spam to the gmail address.
The only spam that reaches my gmail is spam that gets forwarded from
one of my other, "professional", accounts.

Thanks for the information, guys. I wasn't aware of the spam cops.
