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 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.
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.
