blogging tip #49 (if there was such a list somewhere)
(and the long answer to a question I've been getting)
Putting a personal email link on a blog is not safe if you want to avoid mass loads of spam. However to minimize the risk, editing the email link so that only an actual person trying to use it will be able to see what it is supposed to be, (such as my link), helps circumvent programs that troll the web for email links to spam.
If you are annoyed when someone has a link for "myname at domain dot com," or as in my case, "reimerm3[at]cc[dot]wwu[dot[edu]," just remember that he's trying to be smarter than the machines.
