Any chance you might sell this? I can imagine lots of uses for this tech.

Yes, it's going on the market pretty soon. If someone wants to talk, roee ಠ phobotic.com

I don't think that ಠ is supposed to be there.

It's my middle finger to the spambots. I figured they already have workarounds against all the permutations of '- at -', but no way they've thought of that one.

it always made me wonder why computer literate people obfuscate their email in such a way that a single regex could pickup about 99% of them.

personally i don't obfuscate my email at all - good spam filtering is much more effective than trying to hide your email address.

The fact that most credit card entry fields don't accept spaces gives me hope that most spambots can't turn " at " into "@".

[nrs26 → flyinglizard]

I am definitely using that from now on.

[pavel_lishin → nrs26]

I just use gmail. It blocks spam without requiring people to solve a puzzle in order to contact me.

[nrs26 → pavel_lishin]

Up until recently - I would have agreed with you. I just find I'm getting spam much more regularly now on my Gmail account.

[javajosh → flyinglizard]

Of course, many people probably wouldn't have a workaround to that one either, alas.

Point made - I've put it through an accessibility enhancement.
