First of all, my newsreader (which is separate from my email client)
puts the address I tell it to into every post, and that address is by
design one that nobody uses. Second, why should I waste 45 minutes
of my time at home each year on administrivia that I don't need to
do, particularly when I've arranged things so that I don't get a lot
of legitimate email to begin with?
Aside from technical errors, your suggestion is simply a poor fit to
my personal situation.
