Email from Jim Dodds

86 percent of the addresses posted to web pages received spam. It didn't matter where the addresses were posted on the page: if the address had the "@" sign in it, it drew spam.
Â
For indepth review of the subject go to www.google.com and use this search phrase "email harvesting"
Â
If you reply to Ron's articles use : myname(at)nospam.myisp.com note use (at) instead of @
Â
If people can't figure this out, well, then I guess they won't email you but, (MOST) robots will not harvest this.
Â
Ron visit this site: http://www.monkeys.com/wpoison/
A widely used technique to fight this technique is the ‘poison’ CGI script. The script creates a page with several bogus email addresses and a link to itself. Spammers’ software visiting the page would harvest the bogus email addresses and follow up the link, entering an infinite loop polluting their lists with bogus email addresses.
