Ok my email address is [email protected] almost all webmaster boards let me post that.

I can also put a great link and it does this:

email me

Why in the hell do people put there address like this

im_retarded [at] imanidiot [dot] com

To avoid being scraped into a spam list.

Like everyone else said, spam.

But still that doesn't work anymore either, it doesn't take much to write a scraper that matches for those types of keywords and replaces them with the right stuff, that's why I use different techniques such as:

aim/gmail in my sig at googles email services.

If you can't figure that out, you're an idiot.
