As spambots generally don't run javascript, it should be safe enough, as the email address isn't actually there until the js assembles it.	Erayd (23)
495571	2006-11-01 22:49:00	You can't afford to have you're email displayed in the clear on a webpage. You've got to hide it behind forms where it cannot be sniffed by any type of bot because if it is in the open it will be trawled and added to spam lists. Without spam filtering I'd get around 200-300 spams a day (I know, cause I can see them in the third party spam filter system at the ISP), cause my various work addresses have been in the clear for so many years. I still get spam addressed to email aliases that haven't been used in six years ..... So that's the reason. I have always thought it was to make them as hard as possible for anyone to find. Discourages complainers.	JJJJJ (528)

If you have something of interest to say,then say it by all means, but please no more meaningless sites. I was tempted to get my own web site a few years ago, but I'm still trying to think of something to say that is of interest to the masses.	JJJJJ (528)

Oh I've moaned and groaned about the fact that you can see my email on a web-based phonebook and it is about 5th on the list in a Google Search . Yet they still just keep saying oh the spam is increased and keep updating Sophos PureMessage spam filtering (and have problems with long queues) . . :stare:	gibler (49)
