Gene,

I don't know that much about the internet but understand that a password
might not keep them from harvesting our e-mail addresses.  I hope it does.
 Some change the @ symbol with at or (at) but I understand that the miners
are wise to those tricks.  Might check with some of the wizards to make
sure.
