Well that's a good start. I wouldn't recommend using a real mail
address, spammers tend to collect them from newsgroups.

Don't use your real email address in any newsgroup posting. Viruses and
spammers can scan the newsgroups to put you on their lists.

Instead, modify your email address slightly. E.g., instead of
JohnSmith@yahoo.com, use something like JohnSmith.dontspam@yahoo.com
