You may think that this is obvious, but plenty of people still do it, and then wonder why they get so much Internet spam - for example spam from web-site contact form links.

A new Black Frog anti-spam model, based more than loosely on the defunct Blue Frog service, is being set up over at Okopipi. Will this one succeed? And will it be more ethical?
