Obfuscated Email
The links at db.etree.org to e-mail addresses may not work when you click on them. This is because we do not display your "real" e-mail address, but only your "public" address, which may be Dictionary:obfuscated to prevent spammers from getting it. It is strongly advised you use an obfuscated e-mail address for your public e-mail address, instead of your real one. Save your real address for the "real" e-mail address in your profile, which is invisible to everyone except the admins.
Here are some strategies for obfuscating your e-mail address while, at the same time, making it possible for a person to edit to become a real email address:

For example, my obfuscated email would be: gtg723dATprismDOTgatechDOT.edu -- You have to 'translate' the AT and DOT to read the email as gtg723d@prism.gatech.edu
Other ways to obfuscate e-mail are to put in characters or words that don't belong, as in:
mgoldey-at-rcn.com
mgoldey#@#rcn.com
mgoldey[no-spam]@rcn.com
and my favorite dumb e-mail joke:
mgoldey-the trash-@rcn.com
(Take out the trash . . . get it? Whaddy ya mean it's not funny?)
