[IRCA] E-Mail Directory: address format

[Charles A Taylor <MWDXer@xxxxxxx>]

Group:

After typing many an "at" and "dot," I have formulated a question in my mind.

Someone with more knowledge of spammers, please answer this:

Using my best-known, and primarily social/church/family e-mail address as an
example:

         <calltaylor@xxxxxxx>;

most feel comfortable with the format "calltaylor at isp dot com."

I would like the most knowledgeable to advise me whether

"calltaylor isp com"

is a secure alternative.

I understand that the objective here is to make an e-mail address less 
obvious to a "spambot" (as I call them) search engine. It appears to me 
that the second alternative is just as secure, and a dern-sight more brief 
that the first.

(Incidentally, that username <calltaylor> was intended to mean "Charles A 
(and) Leonor L" [CALL]. It has been available at every ISP that I have 
tried in the past years.

It got to be too much to filter all MWDX, R-390A, ham, church, social and 
business junk through one username!
