For quite some time there's been a plethora of mail services that won't let you use dashs or dots between words, so you're stuck with the hard-to-explain-to-many-people underscore. Likewise, with the mail services having thousands of customers, it's harder to create addresses with normal words (which are a bad idea, anyway, you get spammed by dictionary attacks). separated_words2001 is a quite common username construction, nothing to do with spam at all. It'd be quite a dumb spam spotting criteria. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
