In Response To: Off Topic: Email harvested from this site by spammers (Mike and Rikki)

Hi M&R, it's frustrating isn't it. I had my email address in one of my browser settings - it was in Netscape under Identity I think. Sites can look at that setting so make sure your email address is nowhere in your browser settings. The SPAM has started to drop off a little since I changed that.

I had to register my email address when I got my domain names (ChipSandresky.com, LorettaAndChip.com and PaulSandresky.com). So my email is in the public domain. It takes me about 5 minutes per day to deal with SPAM. I just shrug it off as part of the landscape. I often will use the Remove directions and it seems to help.
