Richard,
You are broadcasting your email address across the internet for any
spambot to collect. Usenet is the most fertile ground for spambots to
find unguarded email addresses like yours. If your email address is
listed on somebody's web page, that's another resource for a spambot to
harvest.
Look at how Orval Fairbairn and Richard Riley cypher their email
addressses. Theirs are done correctly. I'm sorry that my email address

address was done incorrectly (I've changed it). Read why he

I'm not an internet security expert. All I know is: I haven't had any
spam since I started cyphering my email address. I don't do anything
else to filter out spam. Anybody with a high enough IQ can send me an
email and I will get it.
When I send personal emails, I don't cypher my email address, and my
email program knows automatically whether to use the cyphered or
uncyphered version.
Let's see if this is better?
