Huh? If bots can't read CAPTCHA images, I think there's little chance they can read latex.

Ah... but some can. That's why CAPTCHA images usually have different colours and weird fonts so that only humans can perceive the letters.

Hmm... I'll try to obfuscate it somehow then. I'll try to make my email pretty easy to read for a human, and I'll take my chances that there's no OCR spiders (pls)  >:(

EDIT:
Code: [Select]
[tex]\mbox{coblin}@\mbox{gmail}.\mbox{com}[/tex]

Here's my obfuscation attempt.
You could just save that image, upload it to imageshack.ws or similar, and then use it. :P
Although the best idea would be to say "PM me for details", seeing as you'll get an email notification if someone PMs you.

No worries, glad you like it
As of now, the LaTeX script has been hit 75,447 times. That means that on average, around 2,602 LaTeX equations are viewed on this forum per day :o :P

Every single one of my posts viewed (by people with signatures enabled) bumps up that counter by 1. My signature has LaTeX. Other people do too, I think :)
