What about obscuring addresses in the mailing-list archives?

Let's go for this discussion...

Robin has created an archive for the two mailing-lists, which is a very 
good thing, thanks a lot Robin.

In these archives, e-mail addresses are not obscured (as they are in 
YahooGroups archives for example). I think it would be a good idea to 
do the same thing. Below are excerpts of a discussion I had with Robin. 
Robin prefers to leave the addresses in clear.

What do you think? I hope this won't start a too long thread...
