Fitz notes that his email address appears 960 places on the web. I'm at 2630. This is one of the reasons that I'll very soon (hopefully tomorrow) switch my primary domain over to the Google for Domains service (or whatever they're calling it now), so that I can get out of the spam fighting business. I've spent an inordinate amount of time over the last 12 years or so trying to figure out how to get less spam to hit my inbox, and I'm all done. Google's got folks who do that full time, and, while I can't figure out why they would provide this to me for free, I'm perfectly willing to let them.

Why am I allowed two?
WOW! Over 2,600 websites list your e-mail address? I can't imagine. I just Googled my own (work) e-mail address and came up with only six (6) hits. That equally surprised me. All of them were professional organizations that I belong to, plus one domain search company in Japan that listed me as the administrative contact for the domain where I work. Of course, that doesn't stop spammers from sharing my e-mail address and sending me dozens and dozens of spam each day (yes, that's all).
I do NOT aspire to reach your level of insanity.
I look forward to reading about your "post cutover" experience with Google for Domains. Just how good will they be at filtering out your spam? I guess time will tell.
