Virus/spam free email addresses

For some reason, my email address didn't show up at all in my last post (or this one.) I altered it to make it obvious that you have to remove part of what I posted as my email address to actually send me an email. I did this to try to combat the new viruses that lift email addresses from website-based bulletin boards.

I got pounded with over 30 Meg of Sircam virus infected attachment emails Friday night and Saturday morning. ...wasted over 4 hours of work time waiting for my email box to load, scan, and delete. My email box reached its max more than once and I'm sure that I lost real mail as well as the infected stuff...

I want/need to be able to be available to be contacted personally in every forum in which I participate, but I can't if the forum system won't support a viewable email address with an inserted message that will foil these new viruses.

Help Greg! Your system removes the altered email address from the preview header and yanks it from the sign-in window when previewing a post. It doesn't stick anywhere!
