I do think that there could be measurements that help. Why not obscuring it completely, use a 'dot' like way, or something like that? To simply protect the contributor of a note... Bots aren't as smart as you say, since they can already find enough emailadresses that aren't obscured on the web, so there's no need to make it smarter... Greetz, Jeroen
