    In you are not a scammer your inexperience is showing. To start
    with, do not top-post in newsgroups with experienced programmers.
    It is extremely annoying. Secondly, there are various ways of
    providing a real address without easing the path for spammers -
    one is the use of the reply-to field, as I have done.

    If you are paying some unknown entity to handle the 'responses',
    and are too lazy or incompetent to set up your own response
    handling, yet are not willing to compensate the responders, I have
    little sympathy for you.
