I personally find it aesthetically distasteful to do any sort of
obfuscation of addresses; it just seems to go against the grain of
Internet standards that have always been designed to keep things as
open as possible, not intentionally obscure. Some of the
character-encoding stuff I can more-or-less tolerate because you have
to view the source code to see that it's whacked out, but other things
like spelling out "address at something dot net", or putting in
signature notes like "remove 'x' from my address", or embedding an
address as a graphic, just rub my nose in the fact that it's being
intentionally made more difficult to use. That's the sort of thing up
with which I won't put.
