Yes, I see that as well, spam spoofing my id as the
origin.
I can't resist adding my two cents...
I think that obfuscating IDs on the OASIS site is too little too late. Our IDs
have already been harvested,
I'm sure that changing them now won't remove them from the spammer's lists. I'm
pretty sure that they
don't scrub their lists of invalid ids.
Its way too late for me (and probably many of you) now anyways, I am on too
many mailing lists in too many organizations, not to speak of
presentations and articles that publish author emails IDs as well.
I think that the hassle of filtering and deleting is worth the opportunities
I've had to interact with people not directly involved in
our work and if I had the choice of publishing an obfuscated ID or clear text
ID, I would publish the clear text ID.

And so it's
not just the span that I see.....I think my email address is being harvested to
send spam to other sites.....and I get notices from them that I am sending
spam...Is this consistant with what others are seeing??
thx...Dave

That's part
of what I'm trying to figure out: how often and how
important is it for the guy on the street to be
able to respond to a
person who wrote a message? When would someone
respond privately rather
than by sending a comment to the TC?
