Hi Bill, Spambots can figure out the address if you use just (at), if you add dashes to make it -(at)-. Spambots eventually figure that out, too :(
Always use a 'Contact Page' on your website similar to my 'Contact Me' page, <http://www.ronnibrown.net/contact-me.html> this way no one sees your email address. I have never had any SPAM email from my domain server.
