I second that motion.  Our email addresses are just a spam target waiting
to happen, and it looks like the illiana.net server has belched.  I think
I've got 8 or more messages from illiana.net on this virus.  

One thing that I've seen that looks/works slick, is using an image with
link for everyone's email address.  Your email address appears as text, but
is actually an image with a link.  When you click the link then it brings
up a page that you can send a message.  I'd be interested in something like
that.
