I don't really conceal my email address anywhere online. I also don't get spam. Gmail has solved that problem for me, thankfully. Like a Ronco Rotisserie oven[1]... "set it and forget it!"

check your spam folder with gmail, they started to have false positives for me (they used to be really good)

I had as much legitimate mail going to the spam folder as I did actual spam, though I had entirely too much of that too. It's pretty useless IMO.
