It does sound like too much of a coincidence. Anyways, my opinion: It's futile to change your email address whenever you get some spam.
1) There are some really good spam filtering tools out there such as Spam Assassin, and the Bayesian filtering such as that found in Apple's Mail.app. I've had the same email address for 8 years and I get literally hundreds of spam per day, but I only see a handful of them because I have aggressive spam filtering. Kind of like when I check the postal mail at home, I just walk by the wastebasket as a matter of habit.
2) Contact your legislators and push for anti-spam laws. Here is the US this is gaining momentum. Several states have laws, AOL, MSN and FTC have joined the fray.
