I agree; it's been useful to me on a number of occasions, both when I've
searched for something and when someone else has found me through the list.
I wouldn't want my address removed, just altered enough so automatic
spambots won't get my address too often.
OTOH, it's possible that my additional spam collection has come from Usenet
trawling rather than list archives, I suppose.
