No, please read my message carefully.  I changed it because I know this 
list gets harvested by spam bots because it is bridged to the usenet

No, please read my message carefully.  "I" changed it for this post 
because I know this list gets harvested by spam bots because it is 
bridged to the usenet (list.freebsd.questions).  I did not want my 
client's e-mail to be picked up by spam bots.  The actual e-mail in this 
header is a valid e-mail.
