Anyone with reasonable knowledge of spam knows that public dicussions
are common source of email addresses for spammers and this list, if any,
would be one that spammers would monitor extremely closely (btw, I
suspect that an email inquirty I recently received from someone in
Hungary was a spammer) as a source of knowledge of the research as well
as email addresses.

So I would definitely say that if you don't have good anti-spam
processes working, don't post.
