# I do agree with you
but I'm not sure that adding false details actually wastes anyone's time. I don't think spammers look at their returned mail.

blocked from google/yahoo bots (proper law-abiding bots) but naughty people ignore robot exclusion rules... click spang a couple of times

edit: I`d written a better one in Java that would spit out 1000 random e-mail addresses, one every few seconds, so it wouldn`t eat all the bandwidth / processor
