First, cloak your e-mail address when posting to news groups. Change it to
something like (e-mail address removed) or anything else that
will be quite easy for an actual person to notice and remove before replying
directly to you. You can also just put a false e-mail address in like
(e-mail address removed). By posting with your real
e-mail address, bots out there scan and automatically add your e-mail
address into databases and you'll soon start seeing hundreds of spam a day.

Also, if you fill out online forms, use an alias hotmail account or yahoo
account that doesn't harm you if you create a new one and stop using the
first one.
