Made that mistake once and my spam went up to like 400 a day.


That amazes me. I've left email addresses deliberately in the wild and they've never been picked up. Whenever I have gotten spam it has been due to sites that I have signed up to passing on the contact info (which I can tell because I sign up to each site with a unique email addy).
