So how is that opinion connected to my not wanting to publicly announce
my real name and real email address on a public searchable forum for
all spammers to see and add to their spam list? I already get enough
spam, don't we all, and see no reason to add to it.

On a technical group, you should be prepared to use your normal name,
the one you would expect to be introduced by in civil life.

You should also enable a normal person to E-mail you.

There is, contrary to the brutalist view, no need to put your own E-mail
address in a form convenient to spammers (though it's some while since
I've seen a significant amount of spam aimed at a recently-used Reply-To
address).

But any address that you publish should be one that you have a right, or
permission, to use, whether to receive mail or as a spam-dump.

You should not use any other address that might belong to anyone else,
currently or in the future; that is wildly inconsiderate, and contrary
to the policy of the better ISPs. Neither should you use a domain
without authority to do so; domain owners may not want to handle your
spam.

"spam-me.com" exists, though it is in need of renewal - therefore, even
if you have permission to use it, that may not last. You could consider
buying it.

Remember not to argue with the local sociological defective; it is a
waste of public resources. A single refutation suffices.
