I would argue that Britain is making a slight comeback!! I mean, it is still able to launch military interventions around the world (witness Iraq) but a permanent veto is kind of archaic. I admit however that it is still useful to have the USA, Russia, and China as vetoes because it forces these widely disparate cultures to deal with each other. But Britain and France are redundant and do not reflect the current power structures of the world.

Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <info@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.interesting.com> would become <info@interesting.com>.
