Substituting at for @ only works on the dumb spammers. All the others
have taught their bots to read. Fortunately they haven't taught them to
read graphics yet, so entering your e-mail address as a graphic image
works well. For now. Eventually they'll figure those out as well,
probably with code that converts imaged text into actual text, much as
Optical Character Reader software does for us all. Then we'll have to
encode our e-mail addresses on websites, leaving only a hotspot for
readers to click on.

I notice that some genealogy websites publish the email address but
substitute the word at for the @, which is supposed to make it
more difficult for spammers. As in johndoeataol.com.

Rootsweb family tree
I am in the process of removing e-mail addresses from my sources for
my Web site and Rootsweb database. I show the names of people who
e-mail me as the source and put their e-mail addresses in publication
facts. I have tested putting the e-mail address in double brackets,
and it appears to me that the double brackets remove the address from
Gedcoms and reports.

You may have to change yours often. I have three email addresses I use
for various things. One of those I've had for 12 years. Another for
almost 8. The third I have had for a bit more than a year and the only
reason I have it instead of another is because of people who have
indiscriminately shared email addresses on gedcoms and webpages.
