Hello all,
I'm trying to do a little experiment to collect as much spam as
possible (under a different e-mail address than this one, of course!).
I've already thought about a few different ways to do it, by making it
consist of English words and common names and by leaving it wherever I
can post it. However, I know that many spammers use search spiders
much like those used by search engines (which is why I'm posting to
this group), and I was wondering what I could do to make my e-mail
address as visible as possible to people trying to harvest e-mail
addresses. Thanks so much for any comments you have.

P.S. It seems as though this group can be very testy about spam and
irrelevant posts, and I'm sincerely sorry if anyone perceives this post
that way. I'm trying to take advantage of this group's expertise
regarding search engine spiders; I'm assuming that spammers use similar
tools. Thanks so much for your patience!
