Can this be protected? - several examples

[Tilly, Lawrence]

After reading all the suggestions (awesome feedback, btw!!) I decided on
an approach which is paranoid (my preferred outlook) as well as
supporting people with be-only email accounts such as hotmail. This was
also the method I chose rather than just encoding the mailto link
because any encoding that will be usable by a browser will still be
translated by a smart bot. 

For now, I have replaced my email address on my pages with a combination
text and graphic, where the graphic is a gif of the @ sign. Such as:
me<IMG SRC = "at_sign.gif">mydomain.com.  I know this is still easily
"translated" by humans that are scanning and entering, but since the
scope of the site is pretty small and I'm not pushing to get it
registered high up on search engines, I'm not too worried about a human
spam-collector randomly wandering across it.  This will also allow
people to manually email me until I get the second part in place.

As soon as I have a little bandwidth I'm also going to setup a form
linked from the email address. Since I don't want to put a mailto in the
handling of this either, I'll probably just write the submissions to a
flatfile and run a little script each night to pull the info out of it
and email it to me.

Thanks again for the suggestions!!
