Spammers depend on "spamware vendors" to take care of the technical details involved with extracting eMail addresses from web sites (and from other sources, such as word processor documents and spreadsheets, sometimes obtained via SpyWare). So, you'll be fine until a spamware vendor notices what you're doing (and can figure out how to counter it). +1 because this answer uses a logical argument that is generally correct.

@Randolf, no "spamware vendors" will make the efort for less then a few 100 email address, so anythink that is "different" is lickly to work as a one of for most people's website

I actually agree with you (and I see your comment as further support for mine) because the spamware vendors will view that as a feature that sets them ahead of their competition (namely, other spamware vendors) -- your estimation of less than a few hundred eMail addresses seems correct to me (+1 for your comment, except it's not working as a pink box appears so I'll try again later).

> Anything that is done by lots of people will be defeated Agreed, but replace “defeated” with exploited. That’s why hackers have seldom bothered with writing malware for Apples or Linux. Whether or not they are “more secure than Windows” is irrelevant; those targets were simply not worth the time. At least, that used to be the case. These days, Apple has a much bigger user base, making for a more attractive target, and Linux is used on more business servers. It is the same with security measures. If cracking it gains you little, most won’t bother. If cracking it gains you the world, well…
