WebWord Weblog Posting

Win the SPAM Arms Race (A List Apart) -- "Have you ever wondered how, almost instantly, your email address is discovered, recorded, handed down, and passed around? This happens due to hordes of Email Harvesting Robots (aka spambots). These autonomous bots spider the web day and night in waves, crawling pages and following links until they discover an unsuspecting MAILTO tag. Then they pounce, devouring the address and sending it deep into the bowels of the web where the ugly, festering spam companies dwell." (Comments: Funny that I posted a comment about spam just two days ago.)
