As a followup, I did a quick google search on your email address and got
222 hits.
Do you think spammers aren't smart enough to do the same thing?

Most spammers today no longer harvest addresses, for one thing it's
against the law RE: CAN SPAM act circa Jan 2003.
A computer can generate an address list faster than a havester can get
10 names.
I could do it in the old GW Basic with about 100 lines of code, and
with a Pentium 4 or 5 processor you could do 64 to the 32nd power
combinations in less time than it took you to find me on google.
Here's your #1 spammer in the world, Alan Ralsky

The last I knew he was sending over 10 Billion e-mail spams per month.
These guys spend most of their time finding windows NTS servers that
have open relays so that they can forge that address.
