Spam is certainly the issue that makes it all obvious, but I don't like that
all PIClist traffic is hung out there for all to see in places beyond the
official archive that we may not even be aware of, and with machine readable
email addresses on top of that.  The offical archive on piclist.com at least
tries to obfuscate the email addresses.  Note that web forums pretty much
never (at least within my limited experience) make poster's addresses
public.

I also realize that there is no technical means to prevent people from doing
this, and no realistic enforcement of legal means.

Unfortunately spam is a fact of life, but I think there should be more means
to prevent it in the first place instead of just trying to deal with it
after the fact.
