That makes it more difficult to reply to people. Not good. Also
ineffective for almost all people, since spammers will find their
address anyway. For example, do you have any web pages that
are accessed via a URL like http://www.foo.bar/~username?

It's a better approach to filter spam away. Been there, done that.
