A way to avoid the 'bots from getting your email, is when you have to post your email address, you can substitute (at) for @ and space the address out so it isn't a link.

I do try to stay away for "Questionable Sites", and my "Ad-Aware" program does alert me if the site has a bad history. But I am sure that even some of the better sites can be under attack from the spambots. Thanks for the "at" substitution thing. I will try that the next time I am asked for my email.
