Good morning, George,

Looks like Monday arrived right on time for everybody ;)

A technique I use is to subscribe to the list twice, once using an 
address specifically for the list, and a second one using mailinator.com 
(they provide throw-aways for free).  Disable delivery to the mailinator 
address and only use it to post to the list.  Never send an email from 
the first address.  This way one address receives list mail and the 
other sends it.  The two should never cross and your delivery address 
remains private.

Hope the rest of your week is less eventful.

:m)
