It doesn't matter if they do figure it out. They simply can't be bothered
to parse pages for blocks of four characters where the first and last
match '&xx;' - they can't expend the resources, and they also know that
you've made an effort to conceal your email in a 'sophisticated' way that
means they know you're spam aware and know how to automate spam filtering.

The most effective way to avoid this is simply to use a form on your site,
but that's clumsy.
