Subject: Gmail and Google, and Spam (was: blah blah Gmail account)

I love the way that Google tells you who bagged that invite...

And I love the way that the web archives of Full Disclosure, some of which convert http:// urls into <a hrefs> will link to the same page.

But I find it slightly funny the way that spammers will pick up that email address.

Hope Google's spamfilters are good for "mpostle's" sake. :-(

On a side note, I went through a load of cryptographically generated email addresses (encoding date/time and IP address used to pick it up) that were hosted on a public website.  Turns out that at least one spammer got an email address from the Google Cache (the IP encoded in the address was one of the googlebots').  I was slightly surprised!
