Apparently a few hundred people are receiving EUforum
via Topica. Most people are still using things like Outlook Express
which do not support RSS. I may drop support for Topica 
eventually, but I don't see it happening in the near future.

I don't know exactly where the spammers get their addresses,
but I know that most of the spam I personally receive is not
sent to rds at RapidEuphoria.com (my Topica address). It's sent to 
some bogus address at RapidEuphoria.com, or it's sent to my addr.com
address (which I never use) which is the registered address 
for RapidEuphoria.com as published somewhere on the Internet.
