Breedcentral.com Needs To Learn About How To Foil Spammers
I have a little issue with the person running Breedcentral.com. I've mentioned this to him on the pigeongenetics mailing list but I'm guessing he doesn't actually read the messages posted to the mailing list. I think he just basically mails to the list periodically to promote his website. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he's running breedcentral as a "service to the hobby". So, if he reads this...you need to modify your webpage. Having mailto: links is just making it real easy for spammers to harvest e-mail addresses from your webpage.

I would like to put my contact information on his website--I don't mind helping other fanciers with birds when I can and I certainly don't mind helping novices with their questions either. But I refuse to put my contact information on his website only to have it harvested by spammers.
