I have never quite bought this argument.  Surely one can search for
<at> as easily as @.

I have an email address which is published by my employer on publicly
accessible websites.  However, I get almost no spam because of good
filtering.

I also have a domain and an email address I rarely use.  Despite this
being more difficult to find, I get tons of spam.

Address munging is inconvenient and ineffective, IMHO.  The solution
to spam is filtering.
