If you note my E-mail has (remove this) in it, and doing something obvious like that should stop the spam, but allow people to E-mail you.
If you are still worried, just leave the E-mail address box empty, it is not a required field to post.
I find it kind of funny that I get SPAM ads (in an old E-mail address that I posted complete, without the extra text) offering to enlarge both my third member, and my bumperettes, I think they must be a little confused about what model I am. :-)
To get your E-mail address to show up at all, it must LOOK like an E-mail address, so make sure you include a @ symbol, and a .com, .net, etc. Just add in something that people know to remove.
I have been using ericb@t137(remove this).com for months, and I think I got one peice of spam from that E-mail address. That could have been from someone else posting that E-mail on a forum to let someone know how to contact me. (this happened a couple times)
Good luck!
Eric
