Never signing up for anything online (not even e-cards), not using
IE/OE, being "very" careful who I give my real addy to, not posting
my real, real address on usenet. Thats the only things I can think
of that has saved my bacon all these years.

Boomer said:

Oh and leaving e-mail on the server helps.

Is this how the current worm is getting the email
addresses...... form the Usenet mainly?
