I'd be shocked if any of the 100K addresses were *not* targeted
by spammers even without the bugzilla appearence.

Spam is not stoppable with todays home system security (and thanks go
to where everyone knows), it can only be filtered out.

Considering all these points, I don't see a reason to be overly paranoid
with distributing email addresses on the net. My address has been
thrown all over the net since '98, and my mailbox consists from three
different mail addresses. I get somewhere around 10-50 spam messages
a day. It's a non-issue since I use thunderbird (and have a broadband
connection).

Spam is annoying, but it doesn't have to be more than that.
