This idea only works in an environment where that address is _only_ used on
a web page.  I have seen people go to all extremes to hide their address but it
still ends up somewhere else to be harvested.  Hell, my address shows up in
spam-l archives from years ago.

Common names are usually dictionaried anyway.

I use a different address on my web site so I know that anything that comes
through it was either scraped or someone that actually clicked the link.  The
latter hardly ever happens since I have the most boring web site on the WWW.
