In case you were wondering about that font: as you know, search engines (like google) scour the web, following links and storing interesting things about the web pages they encounter on their journeys.

Spammers do the same thing, except that for them, “interesting” is defined as anything that looks like an email address. So putting mailto: URLs on a web page, or even just typing something that looks like an email address, guarantees that the referenced address will start to receive spam.

The email addresses above are in the form of an image. While it’s possible to use OCR on images, spammers don’t generally go to the trouble, since images are time-consuming to download and it’s still more time-consuming (and quite error-prone) to try to turn images into text.

The silly font just makes it that much less likely that an OCR approach will work. There are other tricks, but I’m not so worried yet.
