Greetings. A lot of cherished colleagues on this board put their email address in a post.

This is the #1 way to get on spam lists, because spam robots crawl the web 24-7 looking for the @ symbol.

A simple way to avoid spam is to disguise your email, something like this: chrissmith (at symbol here) xyzcompany (d0t) c0m

Great reminder, Kirk! I usually spell mine out the way I would say it to someone over the phone:

lambent underscore learning at yahoo dot com

Putting your email on any website is not a good idea - esp a forum like this which attracts a lot of users and bots.

One solution is to link to a contact form on your site like this http://www.rapidbi.com/servlet/contact rather than an email.
this will stop most of it!! of course any addresses you have which have been on sites you can chose to delete or suffer the spam..

OK, that's even better, Fanatic! You are definitely eschewing obfuscation - i.e. keeping it simple and clear.
