The Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit Washington, D.C. group, created dozens of new e-mail addresses and then used them in a series of experiments to determine which addresses would receive the most spam. The e-mail addresses, that received almost 97 percent of the thousands of pieces of spam, which arrived, were those posted on Web pages. My own e-mail address can be found within virtually every single one of the more thsn 5,300 pages on this Web site. The characters "-nospem" and "nospem-" have been added to it on each and every page, invalidating every one of those e-mail addresses, to reduce the barrage of spammer e-mail I received. It has worked very well, in conjunction with the excellent filtering job that the Road Runner folks were doing and using Cloudmark's Desktop as the last line of defense. Having moved across the country, I am now using Cox and Windows Live. You'll need to remove those excess characters from my e-mail address before pressing the "Send" button in your e-mail client.
