Save yourself from all that extra work and the waiting. Any active TWGS would be listed here.

I agree. Bots can harvest email addresses out of these forums quick. You can enclose your address with ** on each side, or write out dot instead of the . in the address. This stops the forum from making it a link, and the bot won't recognize it (I think)
But this is also why I originally asked for people to "Email" me this information LOL

the bots are getting smarter and smarter. all of them will be able to grab yours with the ** on each side. most of them are also grabbing stuff like rev AT whatever DOT com. at this point, i think its pretty useless - if i were an email scraper author, i would search for all the common endings like com, org, net, etc. and then grab four words to the left and make email addresses out of all the combinations thereof and sell them all as valid. unfortunately, even email addresses in gif/jpg are up for grabs with all the recent work done on defeating captchas. if i put half the heart i have for TW scripting into a scraper, i'm sure i could come up with all kinds of clever ways to get around email name obfuscation.

Rofl. It's easier than that ya know. Just do a preg replace on [at], at, dot, [dot] and variants with spaces and do a pre-pass on the text... converting it to normal parse-able text. That way you can define these as external rules in a file and not have to recompile everytime someone wants to add a new variation.

I didn't know the bots were that advanced, but glad to know it. Thats why also on my web page you see a grapic with my information in it, rather than just my email address and icq. This was per Revs suggestion when I first designed my website and I felt it good advice. Thanks for the input Rev.

This is also why I put in the original message,.. email me your info, rather than post here. LOL

It was easier for me to post my info here that try to get around the filters my job has for sending e-mail.

Most of us are manly men, and as such, do not bother with the nuisance of reading directions.

They are the things we put aside that our woman folk like to point at when we put something together and there are parts left over...
