Just curious, but why do you post the real thing here, for spam bots to
harvest?

Because I don't have a problem with spam. I can filter 99% of it out
with the right software.

I have never been a paranoid computer user. I sure I have not been
online as long as some here but I have not had a problem since the days
of using my first suitcase size portable computer which was an old
CPM Osborne.

While it may be true that you don't have a problem with spam ("mostly")
just think of all the bandwidth the spammers clog up while sending you
email (that you don't "see") and your email client bouncing it back. It
slows down the whole internet for everybody.

And you are so naive that you don't know that spammers are sending spam
to your phony email address, then being bounced back?

Take it easy... Why get so excited? Lets try to reason.

Maybe you did not understand what I meant. To quote you: "I can filter
99% of it out
with the right software.." Meaning that junk mail gets to your software
and then it is rejected. Whether or not your software bounces it back -
some email clients do - the
spam generates bandwith. Taking the precaution to not publish your
email in the first place prevents the bandwith abuse and helps all of
us.

So if you put your address down as jerry at springer dot net, the spam bots
are going to pick it up, and boounce it back?

I seriously doubt it.
