Absolutely true and NEVER post your "PRIMARY" email online in Forums ESPECIALLY as your user name. I see so many users using their email as a username here. I cringe whenever I see that. SpamBots harvest every email they see and find. I have 5 different emails other than my "primary" for various uses. Easy enough with GMAIL accounts. If you have a GMAIL account you can even turn 1 account into unlimited different ones. jiohnsmith, john.smith, jo.hnsmith and every other combinationcan all be used with your existing email to help "track" where a lot spam starts from.
Sad part is that with every company that gets hacked (and there are a lot more than one might imagine), your email gets out as well. Not much can be done to stop it completely.
