I hope you know this, but if you EVER publish you’re email address somewhere on the Web, you WILL get loads of spam. Crooks send out “bots” and “crawlers” and various programs designed to harvest any and all email addresses, and once you’re on one list, you’re only going to get on more as they steal from each other.

Here are two easy ways to thwart the evil:

1. Write it out. “roger at sign roger courville dot com” is an extreme example.

2. Purposefully mis-spell it. name@yourdomain.com becomes name@yourdomai.ncom or name@yourdomainc.om

Spam kills productivity. Hope this breathes a little life into it…
