But because of the context, you were implying agreement that the 
address had been obtained through this list.

Laurie very effectively debunked that claim, even if she overstated 
your involvement in the process.

The notion that "ASCII encoding" email addresses will stop spammers is 
not credible.  Sure, it'll stop some of them, but not all - most 
text-based browsers will automatically convert it to the email address 
without the user ever knowing how the source appeared.

For example, if you have lynx try:

	lynx http://www.gnarlodious.com/Opener.html -dump > 
SearchForEMailAddrs.txt

And you'll see the text email address there in the file 
SearchForEMailAddrs.txt, easily harvested by spammers.
