Note that a lot of mail servers and/or spam filters will think it's
spam if it isn't.

It did.

If people really do want to e-mail me, that's fine.  What I'm trying
to avoid is people who e-mail my without knowing they're doing so
because that's the default setting for whatever broken-by-design email
client, web-UI, or newsreading they happen to be using.  If people
conciously want to e-mail me, all they can by using the address in my
sig.
