I don't typically read spam, and most of it gets auto-filtered into "SPAM" by Gmail for me (who, BTW, now give you almost 5 GB, w00t!). But yeah, I know I have received a very very tiny amount of spam (with like nonsense as subject like "mlvwz"). But AFAIK, none recently originated from here.

Yeah, or just "encrypt" the address like "steve{at}whatever_DOT_com". Of course, it's harder for real replies to be sent (but that's probably rare from this forum), but most people accept that extra step these days (at least in newsgroups, where most spammers seem to look for targets).
