December 12, 2003. Aren't you tired of spam yet? As for me, I am. Every day I get about a hundred letters, and amoung them only 1 or 2 were really written to me. :(
For fighting this cancer, I have modified all the e-mail links on my web site like that: email(at)domain(dot)com. Now it will not be enough to click a link and send a message, you will have to change all the (at)s in @, and all the (dot)s in . manually. I hope, the spamming robots cannot do it.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Or thanks to the spammers.
