Say... why isn't PDNFTS (Please Do Not Feed The Spammers) on the OLOCA? 
Anti-brevity? :-D

PDNFTS is part of PCYMTNQREAIYR. :-)  Besides, it's not like it's an
internet standard -- the only reference to PDNFTS that I found on Google
was this page:
<http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:SX5ZHCbXdi0J:www.billism.com/randemail.html%3Fvw>
(and even that is a Google cache of a bunch of randomly generated
addresses).

Time to see if I can reply to two people at once :-)

Yes, I was mildly surprised that it had not yet been shortened thusly.

p.s. I love your .sig, Igor! :-D ...Except I can't quite make out the head.

I would assert that it's no less list-specific than PCYMTNQREAIYR. 
However, as noted above, I was also only being half serious.

(For the record, 76% of google's hits on PCYMTNQREAIYR contained 
'Cygwin', so even though, like TOFU, it seems like common sense, it /is/ 
actually list-specific.)

D'oh! Having said that, my eyes finally decide to look at it the right 
way. Go figure. :-)

Why shorten it?  I can actually touch-type the above pretty easily... :-)

Heh?  My head is not in it. :-) Unless you're talking about the kitten's
head, in which case it's on the left side and facing the audience.  The
"4-" is the nose.

/I/ can't! :-)
Anyway, still mostly just surprised that it hasn't shown up before. It's 
also pleasantly reminiscent of the signs that say "Please do not feed 
the ducks/bears/hippos/programmers/etc". ;-)

(Especially donuts. *NEVER* give them donuts....</deadpan>)

Yes, I finally figured it out! Don't know why I couldn't see it before...

one*)
