If you are going to place your email address for the public to view, use another email address like Yahoo or Google's Gmail. Do not use your primary one. [br][br]Such public places to avoid using your primary address are newsgroups, chat rooms, online membership services, and Instant Messengers. [br][br]If you do use your primary email address, check the privacy policy of the website first. See if they have a policy in place where they guarantee not to sell your email to any third-party.[br][br]Don't forget to use a filter.
