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 _seems_ to work properly for you. That's because my cyphered email address was done incorrectly (I've changed it). Read why he http://www.turnstep.com/Spambot/avoidance.html#NOT 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?
