    Email addresses

    I made the mistake of including my email address in a recent post in another part of the forum.

    Stupid mistake.

    Since then, my spam mail has increased 10 fold.
    It could be coincidence, but it has never happened before, so quickly.

    I know full well that our admin do not give out our email addresses so
    perhaps other members will be careful not to publish THEIR email address in a post.

    Hi John at least you know you've made a mistake and probably will not make the same mistake again.

    But there are really stubborn members here who posts their email add again and again (even though they are being told a lot of times, not to). It irritates sir aromulus a lot!

    Thanks Florge and Jam07,

    Having extra spam emails is not so much a problem, as a time waster.

    Some of them even get through the spam filter, but I just keep on hitting them into my spam box, and eventually a lot will dry up.

    Naw, changing addresses is not an option I am just happy to swat them by hitting them with a spam over ride when they come in, pretty soon it will slow down again and get back to normal.
    Really I only posted as a reminder to others.
