webcrawling robots

[hammersley]

I was trying to email a guy and his website had the following message - Not The Guy's Real Name... .



To contact Joe Blow, send an e-mail to Joe followed by the @ symbol followed by joeblow.com (we've had to break it up like this to foil the webcrawling robots that scoop up addresses and sell them to spammers).



I get a lot of email - same adds - different computer generated names... .....

That's why your email address isn't accessable here on the site unless you post it yourself in a thread. To send an email to someone here you fill out a form and the TDR server sends it. No way for them to farm email addresses (unless you post it yourself)
