How many mailing lists do you post to with your real email address? Also I
think you send a lot of email advertising SCOUG and OS/2 (or at least you did
at one time) events which spreads your email address around a lot. I do not
use my real email address in very many mailing lists, I think the SCOUG lists
are the only ones. The more your address gets spread around the more chance of
getting spam and viruses.
