I use the address below only for e-mail list subscriptions and while it does get a few bits and pieces of junk mail the amount is trivial, maybe two or three a day.
According to research done on this the vast bulk of spam gets to addresses which appear on (popular) web pages and my experience bears this out. Even addresses on usenet don't attract much spam nowadays, I use a real address for usenet postings and it gets even less spam than [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
