The valid e-mail address is used only for sending you your registration
info and for them to verify it isn't a 'bot sending the request.

The posting return address simply has to have a valid format (note mine)

I've seen no increase in stuff since (altho my ISP does filter the most
obvious and always has...)

See you on the other side brother.

LOL! Very apt, considering the morbid tone of my own message ;-)

Why not just use a free email account at Yahoo, Inbox.com, Gmail, Hotmail,
etc and put that on your return address? That's what I do. My address here
is one of those accounts. I do look at it from time to time in case I miss
anything, but generally there's not much spam there, and even if there is,
it's all in one spot.

This assumes that Usenet providers are going to honor any kill messages
Microsoft sends out. This may not be the case. These Usenet newsgroups
likely will continue.
