Random Question about positng email address

Why do people spell it out? myname at server dot com. I don't get it. What am I missing?  That's all. TIA!

Re: Random Question about positng email address

  • To prevent spam sent by bots. Bots can scan webpages and just look for email addresses all typed out in the proper format. If you add special formatting like rhymeswithorange at geeeeeemail [.] com it can confuse the bots and thus eliminating spam from your inbox.
  • At one point, when you put that in a response the Nest would not print it like you wrote it so people began spelling it out. That was many moons ago and I'm not sure how it currently works as I think a lot of people are just used to doing that way.
