[Cialug] Internet.com Spam

[David Champion]

I use the + thing a lot... but what's irritating is a lot of sites won't 
let you submit an email address containing the + character.

Even more irritating is sites that let you submit it, then the character 
breaks their system because they don't filter their input and / or 
escape special characters.
