Spam

I get asked many times, "how can I stop SPAM?" The short answer is that you really can't, however you can slow it down a bit. Here is a link to an article with some good suggestions on how you can reduce SPAM. 

The best way to slow down the spread is to protect your email. I keep an extra "dummy" account that I use for those pesky online forms that require an address. This way I can minimize the folks that get my "real" address. Unfortunately the more time that you have an address the harder it is to prevent it from falling into the hands of the spammers.
