I'm very active on a number of newsgroups and have never had a problem posting my real e-mail address. Spammers harvest e-mail addresses from these lists regularly. I've used the same address for > 7 years - it doesn't take nearly that long for the spamming scum to figure out that an address is good.

So what are we doing differently? We're very active on the 'net and don't hide - it's a recipe for getting spammed to death.

It has to be who we give our email addresses to. It's probably innocent. The good people here who complain of pornogrpahic spam, have obviously given their email addresses to some entity that then gave it (more likely sold it) to spammers.
