Make anonymous post

Hi again,

I am new to Usenet and I just posted a question from Google Groups and
I see that my email address is displayed in clear text but in the
rest of the posts in the page the email is hidden. How do you do to
hide your email from spammers when posting to Usenet?

Most people usually don't use their real email. They create a fake
email which is their reply to email, one that is easily picked apart by
people to determine their email address, but one that an automated process
(like a spam bot culling newsgroups for email addresses) can't easily pick
apart.

See my signature, or others in this group, for some examples.

With google groups, you're in a catch22 because you probably can't create a
google/account with a fake email.

At home, I use outlook express as a news group reader. In outlook express
you can put in whatever made up email you'd like.

...

I'd create an email thru yahoo or gmail or something, and use that as my
"public email" that is spammable.

That was it, it was showing my email when reading through google
groups because it was me who was looking at it. I have just readed
from outsite my google groups account and what I see is
"[e-mail]".

Anyway I was using an email account created only for posting.

thanks!
