An e-mail address is a piece of personal information just like any other piece of information about you. If you publish something on the internet, you better be ready for the possibility of some dimwit abusing it. If your address is so precious to you that you would rather see other people rot in jail for nine years then having to clean it out every day then I think you should take more care who you give it out to. That's my two cents on the subject. I don't give my addresses out to everyone, and I don't get spam every day. Simple as that.
