Yeah. I know the things you recommend slows spam down, but it does not
stop it. Further, the burden is on you (Me and everyone else) as is
evident from the long list of items you having going. Just so you know,
I never give out my email addresses to *anyone* that I do not want email
from. I'm careful. OTOH, the email addresses I have, I have had for
years. One the the addresses (I have 3) I've had since 1992: The longer
you have an address, the more likely it gets spammed. 

The spam I get really does not bother me. It all ends up in my spam
collector and with the convenient push of a button in a php script, it's
dumped. The point I'm making is the economic cost. From providers to
users. In terms of time, equipment, bandwidth, man power, lost
opportunity and utlimately, money, this is obscene.
