I disagree with your point, I don't put spam blockers on my email. I put them on my kids so that they don't get exposed to the messages that are being sent. I think that holds true for most webmasters. I seen enough T and A that I am almost immune to it. It simply doesn't bother me.
Most spam blockers (according to Neilson rating services, April, 2002) are in place by parents trying to establish some sort of parental controls on what minors are exposed to. The exception would be corporate entities that use spam blockers to keep these ads out of the workplace.
I can only conclude that these fellas who are employing "tricks" to defeat the spam blocking software by altering the text can only be targeting a market that we are trying to protect. What other conclusion could you reach?
If someone is trying to target a market that many are trying to shelter with deceptive marketing techniques, they obviously see some potential to penetrate that market (no pun intended).
I guess my point is to force these guys into advertising their respective sites ina conventional manner and leave spam blocked email alone...they obviously are not wanted. Let's leave the people who don't want pornographic spam alone, they have clearly indicated they don't want to recieve it by the filters they have set up. Decieving spam only seeks to defeat the safeguards parents have set up to protect their kids...I don't know what more I can say.
