I fear that it's only a matter of time until , bots begin searching for that
according to some security sites I've looked at, most of the current bots can be thwarted fairly easily by, for instance, typing "AT" in your email address instead of using the "@", or by using unicode for the @ and the period (or for the entire address)... or using a bi-directional override, etc.
but if you're worried about a human, I don't know what the answer is.
