Non-scalable.  If people actually start *reading* your news wire, then
the address *will* be harvested and spammed and phished.  If the spam
volume is so low that reporting a single incident is worthwhile, it
means nobody's reading.  And if by some odd circumstance it actually
gets readers, do you intend to report on each incident, out of the dozen
or 6 dozen a day you'll see?
