   If a post to the group is rejected by the moderators, the poster will   
   receive an email stating the reasons, but of course only if a valid   
   email address is given.   
      
   It is OK to have a spam block in the email address, i.e. some change   
   which the moderators can easily decode but which spam software might   
   stumble over, but the moderators will not go to your web page or   
   whatever to find your email address.   
      
   (These days, spammers rarely harvest email addresses from usenet, and   
   it it also easier than in the past to prevent spam email from reaching   
   the intended recipient, so it is a good idea to weigh up the advantages   
   and disadvantages of posting with a valid email address, or at least a   
   disguised one which the moderators can decode.)   
      
   This notice was prompted by a rejected post from someone who seems to be   
   familiar with usenet, but of course applies to everyone Else as well.
