Well, what about "unconcealing" yourself until the next update, and then
switch back to concealed mode? Or why not just stay unconcealed? I've never
really understood the purpose of concealing your email address on a public
mailing list. I mean, if you are worried about spam, you're already
broadcasting your address with every message[1], and I sincerely doubt that
it's a security matter[2]. Seven and a half years on the list, and I still
haven't gotten a death threat yet.[3] ;>

piece of spam as a result of my participation on CONLANG.

[3] This should not be considered an invitation for death threats, mind you.
