Hi

I understand that google groups isn't the same as usenet. However it
covers pretty much the same info it seems to me.

My question is this: I use Opera (browser) to read and post to
"usenet"/google groups. My email address (that I don't use for
personal e-mails) is visible to all spammers. I see that most
experienced hackers(and even some lamers?) disguise there e-mail
address. While it is not that critical, it is still a hassle to find
spam when I want to check if somebody perhaps gave a private reply to
something I posted. Is there any way to disguise my e-mail address
using only my browser when I post? (I had to give a working e-mail
originally to google to be able to post at all).

Pse. forgive me if I'm asking something stupid. I know that there are
things like specialized newsreaders out there, but it seems as if they
also need ISP's that will specifically provide newsgroup access. Am I
right?

Btw. I'm not a troll, just ignorant and willing to learn. Thanx.
