Dear Seqfans

What should we do about posting email addresses in the OEIS ?

On the one hand it is important to post addresses so that
people can get in touch with each other about sequences

On the other hand there are programs that search the web
for email addresses and sell them to spammers

One possible solution would be to modify email addresses in an obvious way

For example, change   lbj at whitehouse.com  to  lbj=OEIS=whitehouse.com

in other words, replace "@" in every email address by "=OEIS="

Does anyone have a better idea?
