Hi Andrew,

I don't know what happened but if you search on Google for richard.pineger at kudos-idd.com (no longer a valid email address) then you'll find it in the sc-lug archives in a response to my original post. From that day forward I started getting spam - lots of it. Despite what others say about spam being inevitable. It is possible (with a little luck) to have email addresses over a period of years and never get spam.

Anyway, I've checked out this thread on the SC-LUG archives and the email addresses are indeed masked. 

Regards,
Richard
