Those address links need changing to graphic's, so that most address 
harvesting bots won't get anything usable.

Mk1 eyeball can still see what's what, but if you have to use the info, 
you have to re-type it manually.

Most other similar websites have done that sort of thing with great 
success.

I can't believe in this day and age, info like that is still presented in 
a way that makes it harvister-bot friendly.
