The idea we came up with is as follows; Links to reply to ads will be pers-#### without the domain name. So if you are replying to an ad on thedatelist.com and are using a web based email client such as gmail or yahoo you will copy the pers-#### and then add the @thedatelist.com (using thedatelist.com as an example). If you use an email client on your PC/Mac such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or any of the others you just have to click the link. The links will be encoded even though they show the correct first part of the email so that spammers will not be able to harvest them.
