Any particular reason why you decided to quote an email address, which is likely to change? And quoting an email address may, in some cases, defeat the Webmaster's use of encryption or images to reduce the amount of spam received via their Web site?
Judy, I quoted the email address so that people who want to contact the author might do so easily.
As I personally do not find Spam a problem with my tpg.com.au, yahoo and gmail addresses, my website or blog I really didn't think of this issue. I guess that I am just lukcy.
Now that you have raised this issue I will give it some thought. My initial feeling is to publish the address if it is a live link on the website and refrain if it is not.
