    I got this email from the same pricks that post those Pirated CAD programs
    on this NG. It isn't irritating enough to see them in this NG but now they
    are in my email. What a bunch of stupid pricks.

    Here is his message and his email address:

    Hi Friend,
    as I understand from your message posted on forum you are designer or
    engineer and should be interested in some programs on this profile.
    I have huge collection of programs and can offer them for you.
    Alex.

    Here is a list:

    - Someone SPAM the hell out of him!

    Regards,
    Scott

    He will just do what you should be doing. Use a disposable email
    address when posting to news groups and then just change it every month
    or so and you don't have to worry about getting much spam. Adding
    REMOVE to your address helps, but it's not that hard for a spammer to
    write code to filter out stuff like that and get the real address. As
    spammers get better and better, I suspect that we will have to get more
    and more clever in our obfuscation techniques. I just tell people to go
    to one of my web sites to find my current email address.
