---- Protecting Email Addresses From Harvesters

There are email harvesting robots that can read javascript. It's not the norm but it will be eventually.

It would be simple, even for a PHP beginner, to remove email address display from the guestbook. You would still be able to see the email addresses yourself in the database (or file).

Email addresses should never be displayed publicly, use contact forms instead.
