There's a ton of NG-viewing webpages out there and all is takes is for one 
of them to decide to (or accidentally) show email addresses, or for one 
spambot developer to decide to scan NGs directly. That's why I've always 
just used a at a.a on the NG. Someone wants to email me, no prob, they can ask 
on the NG, and I'll provide a sanitized version.

I never use spam filters because I've don't trust them - I've never found 
one (including gmail) that didn't give me an unacceptable amount of both 
false positives and false negatives. (And I know I get really annoyed when 
legitimate messages I send get blocked by overzealous filters.)
