Harvesting experiment

Harvesting experiment (2)

This Web page is a second experiment on how/whether electronic addresses contained in Web pages are harvested by certain unscrupulous organizations. (The only difference with the first experiment is that we now use randomly-generated, hard-to-guess e-mail addresses. In the first experiment, the addresses differed only by their last character and could therefore have been derived from one another.)

Do not send messages to any of the addresses contained below, these will bias the results.

Put online 2004-12-10. Experiment closed 2006-09-24.
