That's why I started off doing, and then lost track a bit. It didn't
cross my mind that '.' and '@' are uncased characters and I'm a bit
ashamed of not thinking about that before running the code
(i.e:
'.'.lower() gives False
'.'.upper() gives False
And the same for '@'. So unless you specifically "spare" them, they'll
be whacked if you exclude upper case characters, or only include lower
case characters).

Yeah.. I thought of writing "My e-mail is my first name, dot, my last
name at gmail dot com".
Some "riddling" can be viable to a certain extent. Or if your e-mail is
ba86rocks...@gm.bu
ba, then 86, then rock, then star, at gm dot bu.
Or the e-mail can be generated dynamically calling a script that
assembles pieces and displays it. This way, it can escape scrapers and
all and will make it hard to manually harvest e-mails.. Which brings us
to your next point about e-mail harvesters and that kind of labor (which
is astounding !).

Nice ! As well as Vlastimil's suggestions. The things I found on the net
weren't that well written. There were *way* too many lines that made me
think "No way. There's gotta be a better way".
