I was looking at Sloane's database, and noticed he had to replace all the @'s
in e-addys with (AT)'s to thwart the spammers.  Thinking about this gave me an evil
idea.  What if there was a CGI script that generated an endless stream of random
but plausible-looking e-mail links?  What happens when a harvestbot happens
upon that script?
