People, spiders are gonna be all over your email addies and you'll be getting to much spam in those accounts...

Wouldn't it be better if you wrote your addies like this: aintorATmac.com?


Edited email addies in quotes...

I have very good spam protection. It's called Gmail and Apple Mail. It catches all the spam, never had a mistake. Never. 0. And I have spread my address on countless sites, forums, including my new blog (see below).

My @ is really [b]@[/b] though. Does it scour the page by view, or by source?

Not sure. Wouldn't it sniff out the "@" sign?

I admit I'm a bit paranoid about spam. In 10 years of having email accounts, I haven't had any spam in like 5 years or so.

Through trial and error I've narrowed it down to some simple practices that protect me from that kinda crap.

Like every time I gave my email addie to someone who stored it in their Hotmail address book, I'd invariably start getting spam within a few weeks.

Now I refuse to give my email addie to someone using a Hotmail account.
