I agree mostly. I think that valid email address should be used. I do
not have time to mess with all that junk. Email harvesters can and
sometimes use methods to get them any way. They are not dumb! It is
trivial to filter all the attempts to confuse or munge the address and I
am sure they use them.
IMHO, it is a waste of time and energy.
