Thanks for uncovering that archive. It is highly likely that is where our addresses are harvested. No matter how you obfuscate your email address on the Web it can and will be harvested. Some people use scripts to display their addresses in HTML entities while others use more sophisticated techniques such as adding blank spaces, replacing the @ glyph, or combinations of Javascript and CSS. None of them work for long. My personal website doesn't contain my email address in any form. If people want to contact me there, they are directed to a server-side CGI page. The increase in spam around the world is directly proportional to the increase of gullibility and ignorance in the world. Spammers make money because there are so many suckers out there. Education and commonsense are the only effective defenses against it. -- Cary Enoch Reinstein... aka enochsvision, Enoch's Vision Inc.
