You might want to edit your e-mail to be in [at] [dot]org format. I don't know if LW has had a problem with e-mail detecting bots or not, but my e-mail is publicly available on my school's website because of an organization I'm in, and I get all kinds of spam.
I'd guess the spammer spiders must be quite conversant in this standard and commonly practiced ritual for averting them...
They weren't as of July 2008. But that's ages ago in internet time. I don't know of anyone who's done this experiment more recently.
I ran into a comment recently that when email providers were using keyword-based filtering, the spammers updated within days. At this point, I'd guess it doesn't matter - Gmail's anti-spam measures are pretty good. I keep my address on my site in the clear, and spam is pretty handleable, and lots of random people manage to email me successfully. (I'm a real go-to guy when it comes to modafinil, it seems.)
